Geat Inn with welcoming new owners.
Pros:

Welome very friendly. Young staff very enthusiastic and smart. New owners hospitable. Dining room recently refurbished and very smart. Food (both dinner and breakfast) excellent, good value and plentiful. Interesting wine list with very reasonable prices. Our room on the ground floor was comfortable and had all we needed for a relaxing 3 night stay/

Overall the room was fantastic but I would avoid the restaurant
Pros:

Location, staff, facilities. The bar was good , beer kept well and wine was delicious.

Cons:

The food was disappointing to say the least. Dry bread, oven chips, olives tasted a little old. I had the 8oz salmon fillet and it was more like a flat kipper, brown in colour and over cooked. I think the venue is trying to cut corners in the kitchen by serving low quality food.

Incredibly disappointing
Pros:

It was clean and nicely decorated

Cons:

No breakfast was on offer and was not made clear on the website , nor was it communicated before arrival , nothing was offered not even toast or a cold pastry. The walls of the room was very thin so you can hear EVERYTHING from outside, the exit light on the door was way too bright so it was impossible to sleep, might as well sleep with the lights on all night, same thing. The blinds were not black out blinds so that didn't help either . The room was hot and the smaller windows in the bathroom or in the room couldn't be opened. I didn't feel safe opening the main window and I had to close the skylight because the rain was coming in.
So, starting my long work day hungry and exhausted is not my idea of a satisfactory stay especially for the price. I wouldn't class the Wheatsheaf Inn as a 4 star property.

Expensive probably won’t stay again unless the price drops or breakfast is reinstated in the price
Pros:

We have stayed at the Wheatsheaf a few times the rooms are clean and comfortable

Cons:

We have stayed at the Wheatsheaf several times the price has always included a breakfast.. there was no breakfast this time and no reduction in the price to compensate for no breakfast

Good
Pros:

I had a 2-night stay here eating both times in the restaurant, The food was excellent and I couldn't complain

Cons:

The blumming flies, they were everywhere, the bar, restaurant and in the sleeping rooms. No Aircon in the room so had the window open but that just brought more flies in
