Relaxing and friendly in a great location.
Pros:

Great location, fantastic welcome, friendly and cheerful staff. Place was full of character. The breakfast was superb.

Cons:

Not a lot really. I knew I had booked into a village pub with accommodation and that's exactly what I got. This place should not change.

Used for overnight stop passing through, staff lovely and friendly
Pros:

Friendly staff and decent breakfast

Cons:

Top floor room 1 was a bit quirky with tricky low headroom access, a bath and sit in shower only, no extractor fan in toilet and nowhere to hang clothes. Would be a challenge for tall or elderly.

An unpleasant 1 night stay. The accommodation part of the property needs pub needs renovating. We wouldn’t stay again.
Pros:

The enjoyed the food in the restaurant.

Cons:

We stayed here for 1 night. The room was very small. Quite dusty in places. The whole room was very shabby. Badly peeling paint hanging from the ceiling in the shower. The carpet was old and dirty both in the room and all communal areas. Uncomfortable bed.
