My room was a little tired, but for the price I wasn't expecting the Ritz.
Perfectly functional, with comfy bed, good shower over bath. Nice extras of biscuits and bottled water.
Staff in pub great, food really tasty, food and beer very reasonably priced.
Felt very safe and welcomed as a single traveller.
Will happily return.

Lovely cosy pub, excellent food and service
A very comfortable last minute stay in this lovely pub. The rooms are very cosy and comfortable, the service outstanding and the food just delicious. The only thing I'd change is the plug and bright green fire escape lighting that illuminates the room too much for a good night's sleep. Overall a very lovely stay.

Staff were very good and cheerful. Very much a local pub still, which we enjoyed, especially when the rugby was on!
We were in Bedroom 8, which in busy times would suffer with a lock of privacy being overlooked by the path down the side and a glamping tent behind.
The cooked breakfast was fantastic, but that's all there was, no fruit or cereal. We did enjoy our stay there however.

We had a lovely night here on the evening of the relaunch. Accommodation was comfortable and clean with plenty of room. We had a great meal in the lounge.
Really good to see a village pub taking on a new lease of life with ambitious, energetic and enthusiastic staff.

It is a great country/cottage style accommodation. Don’t expect high end rooms, some details needs to be looked after, but that is part of the experience for me.
