Welcoming, friendly and homely stay.
Pros:

The owners were friendly and welcoming with nothing being to much trouble. The food was amazing.

Cons:

The property was clean and well presented with quality fitments. It was a quirky place full of history but, restored to a very high standard.

Brilliant
Pros:

A beautiful, quirky little B&B, only stayed the one night as we were going to Silverstone the next day. We arrived a little later than anticipated but that was not a problem, we had a warm welcome and still managed to get an evening meal before the kitchen closed. Beautiful food, we both had the fish and chips and they were delicious. The owner showed us up to our room when we were ready. It was very spacious and clean. Comfortable bed/bedding. We had to skip breakfast as we had to be up and out early but I bet the breakfast would have been fantastic too.
I hope we can visit again in the future whether it be for another trip to Silverstone or to explore the surrounding countryside as it looks like there would be lots of different walks around the area.

Mixed!
Pros:

Booked all 3 rooms for 3 couples, all rooms are linked which was nice so we could all wonder to each others rooms which was handy. The breakfast, when it came, was lovely - had tons of food. We all had a full english which came with all the usual bits plus black pudding and hash browns. The rooms had been done up nicely, we were in the one with the bath which was really nice. It was close to the wedding venue we were going to so that useful.

Cons:

The pub doesnt open on a Monday and I had no idea (I hadnt checked but when I asked about check in time I was told they were there all day, so assumed that meant it was open). We were hoping to go down for a drink when we got there - which was the whole idea of booking in a pub. The bed is made of metal and whenever you move it was so loud and there were 2 radiators either side of our room which have very powerful lights on so it wasnt a very good nights sleep. We all had breakfast together and had agreed on 9am with the people from the pub, we got down and the man was on the phone for ages so after standing like lemons at the bar for 5 minutes we sat at a table. He came over and asked for drinks (3 teas and 2 coffees) and we got 2 teas and 3 coffees and he took our order - we all ordered the same thing to avoid confusion. It didnt come out until after 10am. We obviously all finished our hot drinks ages before the food came out so the man bought water saying 'breakfast is thirsty work' and we didnt want to ask for anything more because it may delay the breakfast. We did ask for some juice once the food came out. The breakfast saga was really quite comical but frustrating at the same time as 2 couples had long drives to do.
In total we paid over £400 for 3 rooms and 6 breakfasts and I definately do not think it was worth that. It was just frustrating as it was me who booked for a group of 6 and it was quite expensive, we wanted somewhere to go for a drink, have a good nights sleep and a good breakfast - it just didnt quite deliver.

Gorgeous, homely, with great service and fabulous food.
Pros:

The accommodation was gorgeous and homely - everything was perfect for our trip. If I had any thoughts it could have done with a tv in the room and a slightly bigger shower head but these are very minor and did not detract from a fabulous visit. The food and service in the pub was exceptional and we would recommend both very highly,

Cons:

There was nothing to dislike.

Pros:

It was nicely decorated with own entrance separate from the pub. The manager was friendly as well. The shower was nice and hot

Cons:

The heating was hard to turn on so it was a bit cold in the bathroom. Seemed quite expensive for the room, the shower was nicely designed but with quite a small, basic shower head

Unexpected
Pros:

Well and sympathetically remodelled. Food was fresh cooked and more than plentiful. Rooms were comfortable and warm. Bathrooms exceptional. Food was not served quickly but this was because it was cooked fresh on receipt of order. This was a plus for us as they were able to deal easily with my vegetarian son with the lemon allergy. Mega plus points for this.

Cons:

Nothing but the age of the building precludes the possibility of a lift and stairs re narrow so beware if you have a mobility problem.

A real gem that I look forward to visiting again soon!
Pros:

Absolute gem of a pub. I stayed for two nights and could happily stay longer. They have put a lot of thought making it a welcoming place to visit, the bedrooms are beautifully furnished,with good quality bedding.
Really friendly staff who work really hard to make your visit great.

Cons:

Nothing for me. Slight wait for food but it’s a lovely place to be and the food was worth the wait. Nice to see a pub being busy on a week night

Pros:

The building is very old and traditional and the locals ( including the dogs) and guests enjoyed the bar and tasty food on Friday evening. Our room was very comfy, clean, spacious and unique.

Cons:

It’s worth having ear plugs if you are sensitive to noise and want an early night otherwise a lovely place to stay.
