Pros:

Had a comfortable stay at the Old Oak Tree. Had an evening meal and breakfast there, both of which were excellent. Staff were great and very friendly. Room was a good size, it was a little hot due to the weather but air conditioning was available. Would stay again.

An ideal staging post for us in travelling north or south but we would be happy to stay longer.
Pros:

This is a popular pub, with very good cooking, in an attractive village. It is family run and as a result the staff are excellent - just right! The room was spacious and had everything we needed. Everything worked, the check-in and check-out arrangements were practical and, in short, we would be happy to return.

Cons:

Nothing to report here.

Lots to like, some minor touches to fundamentals would make it great!
Pros:

Lots to like here. Staff friendliness, quality of food, condition of room, size of room. Location was very good, on the main road, but could barely hear the traffic noise. There was alsoa a lovely walk alongside the river at the bottom of the garden.

Cons:

As a pub, I expected it to be open before 5pm. A weary traveller would be disappointed if they were wanting a drink upon arrival. What really got my goat was being charged an extra £5 for air conditioning. On a day of 30+ degrees, you simply cannot sleep in a room without AC, especially in a room with one window. If you left the window open, you would be kept awake by pub leavers and traffic. Felt really sneaky to have that extra charge. But the AC was very effective!

Great country pub with lovely looking accommodation in a rural location
Pros:

Good location, fabulous food and great staff

Cons:

Bed was a bit lumpy and hard for me, unfortunately. For that reason, I would not stay again until the mattress was replaced or a topper added.
