"Cosy traditional b&b room above the pub itself, surprisingly quiet (never heard a sound) even though the pub below is a very popular place and full every night.
Nice breakfast, good evening meal, can’t fault the place. Patrick and the locals were very friendly, we happily chatted amongst them all evening on both nights we stayed.
All in all a very good time, would we stay again? Absolutely no problem at all."

"Great hotel, my room was small, but the hotel is in the center of town and that worked for me.
The waiting staff were great and helpful and stopped for chats as I was travelling/eating on my own."

What a lovely surprise. You never really know until you arrive, but there it was, handy and unmissable there in the station car park. The staff knew my name and greeted me when I arrived. The place has just been refurbished after being derelict and they have done a beautiful job. The train travel theme is great - especially since I stayed there after travelling on the last ever 125 out of Paddington, and it still smells new. My room and bathroom had huge original windows; it make such a change...

The Meryan owners/Manager was very helpful beforehand checking room requirements and we were able to arrange to drop my sons car off very eaqrly morning of the wedding so it was ready for them on the Sunday morning.

I have stayed here a few times now and each time has been very good. Rooms are clean, beds are very comfortable, breakfast is spot on and the evening meals are delicious.
I have to have a gluten free diet and the Farthings are extremely accommodating.

We loved the place: it’s a charming, quaint old cottage that’s had a sympathetic B&B conversion and is exceptionally neat, tidy and spotlessly clean.
James and Katherine are exceptionally welcoming and helpful, and good fun.
Everything in the breakfast room was beautifully presented and laid out with precision, and the hearty breakfast was, of course, exceptional! Everything is home-made or sourced locally. James makes his own bread, preserves and granola.

Have stayed here several times before and hope to again. As ever, everything was flawless - splendid dinner, comfortable room - particularly like the en suite, substantial breakfast and, surpassing all, friendly, obliging service. Surely a benchmark for all those who purport to run a 'country inn'.

If I can suggest to ignore any other negative comments / review regarding this property. Upon booking my stay, reading the other reviews I was alittle aprehensive. I should not have been.
Great car park on the side of the property, which was free. Lovely bar and restaurant and I received a very friendly welcome in. Even some of the locals in the bar gave me a friendly smile and nod.
The room was very clean, modern and well portioned. Nice little fridge with a cold bottle of water in. The room...

Fabulous location and a really comfortable, clean and luxurious B&B. Our first floor suite was stunning - spacious yet cosy with lovely views. Lots of homey touches and attention to detail. Lovely breakfast, friendly owners - everything was spot on. We live fairly close by, but two nights at the Old Dairy really felt like a proper holiday.
