Excellent accommodation and stunning restaurant - definitely recommend anyone to stay or dine here.
The food was excellent - both breakfast and evening meal.
Full fresh cooked breakfast included in the cost of the room. Proper Americano coffee served at no extra cost with breakfast! I had a glass of champagne with the evening meal and it was chilled, bubbly and perfect.
Very busy, definitely worth booking for your meal, the food was more Gastro Pub than normal but lovely none the less.
Great staff.
Quirky and old building with sloping floors.
Very nice bed in the bedroom.
Only slight downside is you can hear the bar etc downstairs until they close but if you are not an early to bed type of person its fine.
VERY little parking onsite but there is other parking in the village.

Room was spotless. Lots of nice little touches. Highly recommend
Nice property, competitively priced, comfortable beds, great food. Would certainly return.
Pillows poor and no tissues in the room, otherwise all was good
We were delayed to 9pm and were unable to get through on the phone to let the pub know, however, check in was OK when we got there. The room was very cold on arrival but warmed up in an hour after the heater was turned on.
It's a lovely pub and the room was nice, however, our room (called "Cannon", a premier room) was right over the bar, very noisy in the evening, and again in the morning with a very early delivery of clanking beer barrells.
Ask for a quiet room!!
Delightful 15th century pub with very comfortable rooms. The food in the pub was superb at both dinner and breakfast and we would highly recommend staying here.
Charming village setting and many original features of this historic building.
comfortable rooms, great breakfast and good dinner menu.
we had a great time.
