Lovely relaxing and comfortable county pub
Pros:

Quite comfortable and relaxing. Staff were very helpful and efficient. Made us feel very welcome.

Cons:

Evening Restaurant menu was a little limited and not as extensive as we had seen online before our visit. For a celebration night, it was just a little disappointing. Too many options were ‘cheese based’ too.

Not as good as it looks
Pros:

It was a convenient location . It looks nice on the outside. It was reasonably priced. It was clean. Young staff were polite and helpful..

Cons:

After a 5:hour drive and before we had been given our room we had to decide what cooked items we wished to order for breakfast the following morning as they were read out by the receptionist. (And even then one of the items ordered had run out when we got down in the morning which rather made pre-ordering pointless). This needs to be reviewed and done differently.

The continental.breakfast was just cereals, toast or a croissant (which were not freshly baked ). No cheese or cold meats. Not great.

In the evening many of the items on the meal menu had run out. This, on a Friday with the weekend ahead was disappointing.

I understand the pressure on hospitality venues to control.costs and avoid wastage but this and the breakfast ordering went a bit too far.

The road was noisier than we had expected.

So the hotel.was ok without being anything special.

Cons:

There was nothing not to like

Lovely pub with clean rooms, restaurant and ample parking
Pros:

Lovely pub with beer garden, good food, and ample parking, my room was clean and very quiet. Breakfast had plenty of choice for me, either cooked or cereals, fruit is available.

Cons:

It is on a fairly main road but to be honest from my room I wasn't aware of any traffic noise and one of the beer gardens is away from the road.
