It’s a lovely place just set off a B road.
A little tired in areas and the rooms are not very sound proof you can hear everyone else in your area. However the staff were really good and the breakfast was brilliant as was the price
Lovely room, very clean apart from the windows, lot's of cobwebs! Great service, good food and generous portions, nothing is too much trouble. Beware of you find stairs difficult, no lift and no downstairs rooms.
The bed was a mattress on a wooden platform and up against the wall, it was extremely difficult to get in and out of.
The cooked course for breakfast was good, but there were no cereals, no fruit or fruit juice and no yogurt.
A very comfortable place with excellent service and friendly staff. A lovely personal touch.

Poor nights sleep.
Overall Bourne Valley Inn is a nice country pub however I was stopping for one night to meet a colleague the next day and I had a terrible nights sleep due how noisy the place was. Doors constantly banging, the water system when someone had a shower, thin walls so could hear other's conversations and don't expect a lay in with further banging and deliveries to the pub in the morning. I also rang in advance to find out if they had EV chargers....yes they have but only 1 of 3 working, I could only plug in the next morning.
Staff were friendly and food was good but wouldn't return due to poor nights sleep.
Being met with ear plugs in the room should have been a sign of what was to come, these did not help.
No milk provided in the room, only noticed on the morning of wanting a coffee and then the cafetiere didn't work, coffee ended up everywhere.
Unfortunately, the accommodation was very basic, poorly decorated, broken extractor fan in bathroom, hole in the ceiling, poorly fitting windows, Heath Robinson furniture. On the plus side ...nice sheets, staff pleasant and parking available. Food very poor regrettably.
Beautiful location but unfortunately is let down by the fundamentals. The rooms are so noisy, if you are on the bottom floor you hear EVERYTHING from the room above. The real disappointment was that you are situated right next to a corridor and had the new sheets being delivered at 5.30am, huge trollies being wheeled in and out 3 or 4 times, pretty unacceptable to be honest. Also - no eggs at breakfast, Just go out and buy some if the delivery is late!
It was a comfortable place, with good food and a friendly staff. Unfortunately we did not understand that it is the only business establishment in the entire village and the pub closed at 4PM. We did not have a car, so we were essentially marooned in this village until the next day. If you come here, be sure to have a car.
One night stopover, arrived late so didn’t have an evening meal but highly rated the full English breakfast. The room was quite small but decor and amenities very good with a good bathroom and power shower. Only disappointment was we had booked a room with a king bed and was given one with a small double pushed against the wall so would have been more suited to a solo traveler rather than a couple. Otherwise good location and plenty of parking.

This is a reasonable standard pub in a very pretty location.
Make sure you demand to see your bill before payment. I was told a copy would be sent by email but it wasn't . I am pretty sure I was overcharged.
Its in a nice location, staff were friendly and the food was great. But despite being in the middle of nowhere, there was a constant whirling noise all night, like some sort of machinery. But the bed being set on a wooden platform that I had to climb in and out of was what I really didn't enjoy.
Beautifully decorated room very comfortable. Gorgeous breakfast. This is a gorgeous place to stay I really enjoyed it and the room was a pleasure to stay in. I would definitely recommend
Food here was good. Breakfast was amazing,
Room was comfortable. Luxury toiletries were available.
Corridors in need of refurb as are the windows and bathroom.
Lovely garden area.
Overall, perfect base and we would be happy to return.
Great place. Went over and above with customer service as we wanted an early breakfast 7.15am which normally starts at 8.30am. This was no problem for them and it was excellent.
Lovely pub/hotel located on a quiet country lane, just stayed for one night, dinner was fine served in a nice room with a lovely fire and comfy chairs with rugs and throws.
Guess it could be a busy place in the summer as it has a fantastic garden and outside eating tables and covered seating spaces with plenty of fairy lights.
Breakfast choice was good with proper bread for toast and plenty if great coffee - could have sat there all morning.
Excellent value overall 🙂
