Great pub,

Fabulous inside and good food. Great service and rooms are to a good standard. Prices a touch high, but I’ve stayed in much worse and paid much more. Very attentive crew, who go out of their way to oblige. I would definitely stay again. Overall, good to very good. Worth making the effort to visit and stay. 8/10

Excellent Food with, importantly, a gluten free option. Fantastic breakfast. Clean room. Warm. Friendly folk. Nice open wood-fire. Good beers. Nice location. Relaxed. We thoroughly recommend it.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Disappointing

The room hadn't been cleaned properly before arrival as the floor was dirty and hair everywhere, even in the bed! The restaurant was closed for the evening and although we paid for breakfast in the booking, nothing was provided as the pub was still closed. The pub, rooms and location were fine but just let down by minor details that could have been easily rectified.
