Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Room was clean but windows need some work.
Food was amazing and service excellent staff are amazing
Great place to stay, friendly staff, plenty of parking and comfortable room. Full cooked breakfast if you want it was most enjoyable.
Full pub facilities also on site for a relaxing drink.
Best measure is always would you stay again ? - and that’s a resounding yes
Rooms clean could do with a bit of freshening up, food good and staff excellent, enjoyed our stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Overall a great place to stay - an old pub and hotel so ‘quirky’ and that suited us. Friendly staff, great breakfast. Didn’t eat in restaurant so no comment. Bed comfortable, but room lacked clothes storage for a long stay.
Ended up with 3 rooms instead of the two booked (no extra cost) because of a broken lock, but that made our stay better. Staff were really helpful.
No instructions in the room so couldn’t work the internet or the television but was only there for two nights and visiting family so didn’t spend much time there to worry - no doubt the staff could have explained. Some issues with maintenance, but again all part of staying in a reasonable, well priced, and old pub/hotel.
Travel and access easy and plenty of parking.
Main comment - we enjoyed our stay, it was ideal for our needs and will use the again.
Friendly staff. Easy to check in. Bedroom was spacious. 2 single comfy beds. Bathroom ok but could have had a spruce up as the decor was a bit tired. As we had to check out before breakfast we were each given a packed lunch which was really appreciated. Nice bar and outside seating area. Would consider booking here again should I be in the area.

Liked: Staff & service
On arrival we were dealt with promptly but rushed. Room was tired and some bits of the decor needed attention. However it was clean and functional. Filling the kettle was awkward as it wouldn’t fit under the tap. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and the staff very friendly.
Really nice friendly pub. We’ve had a drink here before but this was our first time staying. Nice spacious room, friendly staff and a delicious cooked breakfast.

Disliked: Amenities
Plenty of parking, adequate room although it could do with a spruce up. Bathroom was a bit tatty with wood rot on the window frame due to shower being next to it.
Poor breakfast. (No vegetarian option) just a ‘normal’ breakfast without sausage or bacon. Instant coffee and cartons of milk rather than real coffee.
Staff friendly enough though.
Probably would find somewhere else next time.
Staff were very friendly and breakfast was nice. Nice pub that seems popular and I had dinner which was also very good and good value. Room location was way away from the pub so even though it was loud I couldnt hear it from the room which was better than other pubs I've stayed at.
However TV didnt work and nor did wifi in the room. The 'double' bed was 2 twins pushed together and you could really feel it. Couldnt open windows. It wasnt too hot so was okay but must be a furnace when it hits the high 20s. Breakfast was nice but you're put right next to the kitchen and can hear them quite loud and in and out of the swinging door. Quite a strong smell of bleach or line cleaner in the morning which i read on other reviews. Fine for oncle night but wouldn't personally stay for more than that.
