Surprised and delighted!

A tastefully and comfortably modernised pub in a somewhat downbeat village near the M1 and airport but surprisingly quiet. The M1 is white noise in the background. I couldn't hear the planes. Rooms in the pub's grounds were comfortable with parking right outside and the food was amazing, including breakfast. No soggy mushrooms! If I was a lone female traveller I would feel particularly safe here. Very happy that we broke our journey overnight and will definitely do so again.

Enjoyable stay in one of the pub's rooms at the back of the property. Nice big room with settee and two chairs, much better than having to sit on the bed. Tea and coffee, fridge and bottled water are nice extra touches provided for when you get back from a day exploring. Shower good, water hot plus soft towels ( much appreciated!) and very quiet location in a small village with a handy village store in walking distance. Great overall stay.

Nice but noisy

Lovely little pub and the food in the restaurant was great. The rooms however, have paper thin walls. The guest in the room next to ours left the TV on all night and it was like it was in our room. Even the sound of a spoon in a cup being stirred could be heard. It was a nice place and the location suited us, but it was a sleepless night and so we wouldn’t stay again.
