Nice place, clean rooms and very friendly staff. It can be a bit noisy if you stay in one of the rooms facing the beer garden.
Staff were lovely and the pub itself is nice. However, my bedroom was right next to the car park and if I kept the shutters open, everyone could see in, so I kept them shut. It was also noisy - I could clearly hear guests in adjacent rooms and was glad I'd packed ear plugs. The pub's outdoor seating areas are extremely close to guest rooms, so I think light sleepers would have problems staying here in summer.
I received a warm welcome upon arrival but, unfortunately that’s where the positives end. My room, whilst suitably furnished looked as if it hadn’t been cleaned in ages. The bathroom had long auburn hairs that obviously belonged to a previous guest.
Dinner was extremely mediocre and it wasn’t until I finished that anyone asked if everything was ok. The deep fried breaded farmed sea bass fillet was overcooked and dreadful. The menu described it as a schnitzel when it bore absolutely no resemblance to the classic dish that’s cooked in clarified butter.
Breakfast was good and served by charming staff.
Upon departure, I handed my key to a member of staff who was sitting by the bar doing some admin. Absolutely no interest, no pleasantries and no question as to whether I enjoyed my stay.
I would definitely not return.
Lovely room and great food. Really nice historic building, with period features.
All the staff very helpful and friendly.
Plenty of parking, nice toiletries in the room and complimentary gin in the room, what more could you want.
Excellent.
Absolutely amazing place to stay, can't rate it highly enough. Staff all extremely helpful, friendly and welcoming. Rooms spotlessly clean and well equipment with everything you need. Breakfast menu has got to be up there as one of the best i've seen. Lovely location and parking available
This is our third visit
We are very impressed with the friendly attitude of all the staff especially the receptionist who checked us in and took our suitcase to our room
We were pleased to see.Finn again and appreciated his welcome
I stay at this hotel very often, it is very warm and welcoming, the beds are great as is the bedding, the people are lovely and the breakfast is really good. Food is also good but pricey
