8/10 Very good

I had a great stay, I only stayed one night. The manager was friendly and helpful. There were some local regulars in the bar area, where I was made to feel welcome. A great mix, even had a game of pool with them. Freshly decorated. Great value for money and I would stay again.

I stayed here for two nights this week on business, its the first time i have been to the pub ever. I have just booked in again for next week. A really friendly little pub, cracking food, and charming staff. A big thank to Cathy & Blake for their great hospitality. i thoroughly recommend a stay here. Peter

Roadside accommodation

There was a warm welcome when we arrived and we were given plenty of local details. Originally booked the property as it had a restaurant. Unfortunately, it did not provide any food on Sundays or Monday’s; the two days we were there. This aside, the room was clean if a little tired. There was tea and coffee in the room but no spoons! The other issue was the noise from the road outside. Our room was roadside, and although ear plugs were provided along with the tea and coffee, the constant hum from 6:00 am was irritating with just single glaze windows. Because of this, I probably wouldn’t stay again.

2/10 Poor

Noisiest place I’ve ever stayed in, not sure what the noise was but it was loud and constant all night. Seriously needs to be addressed

The Volunteer

Nice friendly check in. Only 1 x large and small towel for 2 people. No shower soap at all. In a pub so nobody on site but contact numbers on door if anyone is needed. I think overpriced for this property.
Claire, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Kitchen was closed so no food available at all
Deborah, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Checked in on a Monday around 5pm and shown to the room. Noticed that all the tables were setup for food with cutlery etc. Went down to the bar around 6:30 to be told that the restaurant was closed and only food available was coffee and cake. Ended up fetching a take away and eating that in the bar. On the plus side cider was only £3 a pint!! No mattress protectors on the bed.
MICHAEL, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Left after just 1 hour

I booked a 'deluxe room' it was tiny and shoddy. There was damage to the plasterwork, a rusty radiator with the paint peeling and the shower/toilet was tiny. I decided to check out within an hour even though it meant I lost my money as it was non-refundable.

BOOKING SCAM

I have booked the room for one night after 9pm done the online check in then email arrived that I can only check in until 9pm. Tried to rase this issue with hotels.com but only been told this is policy and there will be no refund . Proper scam . Website allows you to do the booking even if you can’t stay in hotel. SCAM zero help avoid!
