How did you find the bacon
Pros:

Nice staff, very helpful. Restaurant was busy and good
Rooms warm and very good shower.

Cons:

The breakfast was limited to one coffee. A very tiny piece of dry bacon with the rest ok.
Nothing else to spoil a nice place.

Would definitely return
Pros:

Lovely breakfast with obviously quality ingredients. Lots of outside seating to make the most of the wonderful weather. Friendly and helpful staff. Good parking and a ground floor room.

Cons:

A shelf to store toiletries in the shower room would have been useful. Sockets for hairdryer close to mirror and better lighting by mirror would have been appreciated.

Un séjour en pub bien sympathique
Pros:

La situation était parfaite pour nous.
Chambre en rez-de-chaussée. Très appréciable.
Étonnamment, un simple vitrage d'une efficacité surprenante.... A noter de façon tres positive, car comme beaucoup de pubs, il est situé au bord dune route plutôt fréquentée. Même en voyant bus et voitures passer , on n'entendait rien . Et non, je ne suis pas sourde!!!
Un Englisch Breakfast bien typique et apprécié.
Le dîner ( magret de canard) était de très bonne qualité

Cons:

Rien.

Staff and owners couldn't have been more friendly or helpful.
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent, plenty of choice.
It was served in a quiet area.

Cons:

Nothing. They were extremely flexible about timings, offering service as late as 11.00am which was perfect for our needs.

Overall a very pleasant place to stay, with exceptional food
Pros:

ALL Staff were very polite & very helpful.
Evening meal - Best pie { Homemade Steak & Ale } in a restaurant / pub / hotel that I have ever had, absolutely superb, rest of evening meal food was also very, very good - Scallops were delicious.
Breakfast again was excellent { Perfect Poached Eggs }
Check out time off 11.00am is a good time, { Too many places do 10.00am }
Would definitely stay again --

Cons:

Thought nightly B&B rate of £125 was just a little bit high { £110 - £115 would be fairer } but still not a bad price for the area.
No plug in sink so could not fill sink with water, no plug socket on wall behind dressing table to enable hair dryer to be used

Good value for what you get
Pros:

Very clean and comfortable thank you. Friendly and good value for money

Cons:

It was all great for the value for money. It's not on the luxury end but it's good enough and clean. I was quite cold so pulled out more blankets which worked. The tea coffee facilities were fully stocked - you get milk in the fridge but no mineral water so bring your own or ask at the pub before 9.30pm

Pros:

Handy location just off M40 as we were travelling further south the next day.
Lovely comfortable inn, bedrooms separate to main pub which was good.
Extremely friendly staff.
Excellent food.
Felt really comfortable there.

Cons:

Nothing
