We stayed in a twin room in the height of summer, the windows could not open beyond an inch or so, there was no fan and the room was hotter than a sauna. Unbearable. The staff were lovely but totally unsupported being left in charge late with no guidance. We felt very sorry for them. Simon was excellent and made our stay really good. The garden and food was lovely. Breakfast consisted on a plate with stale bread roll and box of cereal no bowl or milk. Left outside the bedroom door.

We just stopped here for the night and got a pleasant surprise. Wonderful friendly staff, a good meal in the large gardens, a comfortable room. There was a bit of traffic noise so not ideal for a quiet getaway, but it was perfect for our needs as a stopping place to break up a long journey.

Nice clean place, staff very friendly, if a little under staffed, could do with additional staff in my opinion, but the staff I encountered remained positive and very helpful. atmosphere is good, the food was good, all in all I had a pleasant stay. If leaving before the main pub entrance is open, the route out to the car park could do that lighting, it’s very dark exiting via that route.

Ideal location from travel.

Ideal location for travel, and food/service in the pub/restaurant was fantastic. But the windows didn't open in a very warm room, and they were not daily changed or cleaned! Rooms have been updated, but the shower and carpet are not great.

We needed a room at short notice. It was warm and comfortable. Didn't eat as they weren't doing breakfast. Had a drink at 9.30 in bar - just in time as was closing down. Odd to be locked in the hotel section and shown where the fire escape was.

The Pelican was a lovely place to stay on our trip; the surrounding lawns, garden, pond and brook were lovely to sit by on a warm day, and the dinner we had was really excellent. Our room was nice and had plenty of room, but was very, very warm (it faced the afternoon sun), and there is no A/C. The weather was unusually warm for England during our stay… We purchased electric fans to help with the heat and left them there for the Inn - we hope they will be made available to future guests.

The staff made up for a disappointing cold room with broken toilet on arrival by finding another room. Some options were not available on the menu but we had an enjoyable evening and would love to come back in the summer to enjoy the outdoor space.

I was disappointed as when I made the booking it says breakfast included, once I confirmed the booking it said room only, the property still says breakfast available but this is not an option and misleading, I have complained to Expedia, but this has not changed

Friendly staff, good variety of drinks in the pub, lovely beer garden for a nightcap. Room was great but clearly part way through a renovation. The room was obviously recently decorated but the bathroom was much older, although all clean and working. Didn’t stay for breakfast as we had to be away before 9am. Free parking on site about 10m from the stairs to the room.

A bit of a bizarre set up. The main access is via the pub unless it’s between the hours of 2100 and 1200 in which case you have to use the fire exit. Check out process doesn’t exist. Breakfast isn’t an option, despite being listed as. The road is pretty noisy. But the beds are very comfy.
