Great stay x

We stayed as a family of three, we received a warm welcome dined in the restaurant and stayed one night. Food and service was great. Our room was spacious and comfortable and we all had a decent a nights sleep, there were a couple of things we had to ask for but these were quickly provided for us. We’d stay here again :-)

Great venue for food & location for walkers

Trip was for an overnight stop seeing friends at a charity event at Chipping village hall. Arrived at 4 pm and had a superb meal before going out. Very good selection on menu with a variety of special dishes. The staff were very friendly and made our stay very pleasant with a good hearty breakfast the following morning. Matt was very friendly & most helpful telling us about future events. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and certainly would return again.

Verified traveller

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Below standard

The room was a little below par with chunks of plaster coming off the ceilings in the bedroom and bathroom, a mirror had been removed from the bedroom some time ago you could tell as the paint underneath was a different colour to the rest of the room which really brought the standard down. On reflection the food was over priced for what you recieved, and in my opinion wasnt worth it, £16.95 for a chicken burger and a few fries - see pic

Disappointing

Arrogant and confrontational staff that are over confident of what they have on offer. Made to feel we were doing them a favour staying here. The food was over inflated and failed to deliver on the night, I couldn’t eat my steak due to the amount of sinew. The room was tired. It’s no wonder they are now trading under a new name!
