Very comfy bed... clean room and nice tea tray. Shower takes a moment to get working but probably as the building is old but this gives it charm. Will definitely stay again :-)
Excellent location for facilities of all sorts in the village.

I actually really enjoyed my stay at the Pack Horse. The staff at reception were really friendly & helpful. It was peaceful & private & clean & comfortable, although basic, reflecting the modest price.
But it wasn’t the room we were shown online when we booked & no food was available - as stated on the website.

The bed was awful, kept making noises every time I turned around and as a result I have a bad shoulder
Stayed for business however was blown away with how spacious and comfortable the rooms were. Really clean, tidy and quiet. Would highly recommended staying here.
No food options available for either evening meal or breakfast. Room large, clean and comfortable but bathroom could do with repairs: leaking tap, missing towel rail and corner of bath panel broken.
Friendly staff.
Room very clean. Bed lovely & comfy. Could have done with a net that fitted window.
No breakfast or food but we only used as a base to visit relatives so that didn’t matter.
Fridge in room was good to chill drinks.
Very pleasant stay. Well appointed and clean double bedroom. Friendly and accommodating staff. Nice breakfast and most enjoyable evening meal in the pub. Lovely steak and the ham and eggs looked good too!

Beautifully comfortable bed and fantastic shower. Friendly welcome, good atmosphere in bar and great tapas. However, someone might like to attend to the roof of the building directly below bedroom 1, which offers unexpected views.

Nice people.
Nice beer but food not served on a Tuesday which Hotels.com should point out.
Lovely welcoming hosts. So very friendly. Amazing food in the evening and the best breakfast too. Very comfortable room with everything we needed. Highly recommended. Very convenient location just off the A38

Very welcoming staff. Beautiful location. Dinner in the pub was amazing. The room didn't have a four poster as pictured but was stll very comfortable and clean. Shower left a lot to be desired.
Another stay at The Packhorse and we were not disappointed. The new management are welcoming and friendly.
We loved the Italian night menu on Thursday, receiving a first rate meal.
Our room was spacious and the bed very comfortable.
Many thanks.
It is under new management. We were warmly welcomed and there was a great atm9sphere. Very good breakfast and lovely home made chicken pie and tender rump steak.

All the bedrooms are spacious and our bed very comfortable. Many thanks.
We found it homely and the hosts could not do more to make us welcome.
They are in the process of refurbishing and once finished the whole place will be superb.

Stayed in Bedroom 2, initially shown to Bedroom 1 but there was road noise outside so asked if I could have a different room. Bedroom 2 comfortable however bathroom could do with modernising.
