All depends on what your looking for, great pub attached and the guy that runs the place is a lovely guy. The building could do with a little TLC but there’s loads of quirky character throughout. Great location for doting around the local areas. I would probably go again if I was stopping in area.

It was like a little cabin and was very cosy. It definitely was the best pub and Airbnb in area. The gentleman working and running pub was very friendly and helpful.

It was a last minute booking so we didn't know what to expect. We just needed accommodation for the night. It wasn't very clean, the toilet leaked, bath plug full of black hair and the pointing in the wall around the bath was coming out when you put the shower on. The room was cold and when we arrived we were told there wasn't a room even though we had booked online so the poor bar man had to quickly make up our room. We wanted somewhere with breakfast but when we came down, rather than the full English we were expecting, it was a bit of cheap bread, boxes of cereal and some tired fruit and nasty instant coffee we had to make with a kettle ourselves! No food at the pub the evening before either. We had no real idea where we were so we ordered a pizza but that was a rip off! The man looking after the pub tried his best and was friendly so we didn't give him a hard time but it wasn't worth £80. The pub is very old and quirky but that's all we could really say. It needs tlc.
