Warm, welcoming stay

The landlord has just taken over the property but was incredibly accommodating and friendly. The building is a lovely old inn with all the quirks that come with that and bags of character. WiFi is an issue in the rooms due to the thickness of the walls but it is present downstairs.

Having visited some time before, this is situated by a stunning church and quite villiage and warranted another visit due to a family party nearby. Has been taken over recently and things are going in the right direction as was looking a little tired. Food is great, as are the staff and sence a a great villiage pub

Needs Attention

The room needs attention the bathroom needs replacing. Only half the lights worked in the room. The two halves of the bed were not secured. The water from the basin tap was hardly going into the sink. There was no heating or hot water.

Family Catch

Stopped here for one night to see family in the local area and watch rugby match. Rooms nice, comfortable, various sizes and all double rooms. All en-suite bathrooms with baths in some with shower over and the smaller rooms with wall in shower only. Great variety of tea types in each room and fresh milk in flask provided. Food and drinks charged to room to pay at the end of the evening. Evening meal was lovely and great portion sizes. Price reflected the quality and very much worth it. Would stay again

Clare

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort

dog-friendly but overpriced and in need of refurb.

The room was small, the ensuite was tiny, and the bed very small and bouncy (I think likely a queen size, not a double). This, in combination with noise from people coming up the stairs, doors banging, and some sort of weird vibrating noise (?fan/generator) early next morning meant hardly any sleep the first night. It felt in need of a refurbishment, everything quite worn and tired looking. There was no little extra's-complementary biscuits or shower gel, and the TV didn't work. On the positive side the staff were friendly and they allow dogs. The food was ok-good, but a little overpriced. Overall the stay was overpriced for what is being offered,I wouldn't return.
