Nice place, plenty of parking!

Lovely welcome on arrival / checkout. The room was rather clean although could’ve done with some TLC in the bathroom / storage cupboard. It did get rather warm in the room so a better fan / aircon would be fantastic! Overall lovely place and I’d stay again for sure, the bar sold some lovely gins and the service was excellent. Thanks so much!

We booked the family room, we were very happy! With two teenagers, it’s sometimes hard to find a room suitable. Our room was huge and both children had their own spaces, worked perfectly for us! Also lovely to have dinner and breakfast next door, food was very good!

Amazing place to stay!

We had a great stay! The family room we had was massive and perfect for what we wanted. It was very, very hot in the room with no way of cooling it down! We really struggled to sleep. We were given 2 fans, but they just blew the hot air around, it was unbareable. BUT because it's an old building we understand there is not a lot that could be done and they can't help the weather, but maybe portable air conditioning units might be worth considering. Also we had problems with the TV, we only had BBC channels, spoke to staff several times, they tried to help, but they admittedly didn't really have a clue, but they still tried to help, which we appreciated, they said someone was called out and fixed it while we were out, but it wasn't fixed, so we just gave up. Breakfast was amazing! Choice of food was great and quality brilliant. All the staff were lovely and friendly, they did try their best to help when needed, even if they weren't too sure on something. We would not hesitate to stay again, just maybe not if we know it's going to be during a hot spell! The place is lovely and clean, very quiet and full of character. You won't be disappointed!

Probably the 3 worst nights sleep I’ve ever had. On arrival room 7 was absolutely roasting and remained so for the following 3 days, to compound this, the heated towel rail in the bathroom had been left on. The fan provided did nothing and wasn’t powerful enough to blow a tissue off the bed, even slept with 2 on, having borrowed my mates from next door in room 6 which was amazingly cooler than my room!!! All the 2 fans did was give me a noisy hot room! The window only opens about 4”. Staff could only say that the building is listed so air con can’t be fitted and that a few people had complained about the fans. Upon checking out this morning, Kyle on reception said I should leave a review of my poor stay on Expedia, through whom I booked this trip and then he could issue a refund. I never leave reviews, but this stay really has left me shattered and ruined the trip. Regards Craig Shaw.

Overall the accommodation is very good, the only criticism I would have is with the food portions. There has been a noticeable reduction in portion size over the past couple of years, which is a real shame as value for money in the restaurant was previously excellent

Comfortable but some early morning traffic noise

The rooms of the guest house were comfortable and the pub served good food (although the portions seem to have shrunk in recent times) The only general criticism would be the noise from the road outside, traffic is fairly constant through the night and picks early in the morning. Not a problem if you're leaving early but not ideal if you were hoping for a more leisurely start to the day
