2 Night Stay

What a lovely place! The room was surprisingly large with a more than spacious bathroom and both really clean. The adjoining pub/ restaurant had a really good atmosphere with a good range of beers. Staff were really nice friendly willing to help out wherever they can. I strongly recommend booking a table as from what I could see the place is very popular and you do t want to miss out on trying the food!

This is what a country pub should be like. Excellent food served in a stylish and informal setting by professional and friendly staff. A wide range of casks and draught ales and lagers was accompanied by a rounded wine list with many flavoured spirits and interesting concoctions available for the more adventurous. The menu was both varied and interesting, the food well presented and of an excellent standard. The room was spacious and well appointed with a large ensuite that included a rolltop bath. The complete package is competitively priced and excellnet value. We will definitely return for another indulgent stay. Thank you Sarah, Paul and team.

Fantastic food and hosts

Fantastic stay, room had contactless check-in, lovely local pub atmosphere, the menu choice was stunning, matched only by the quality and presentation, when we got the bill we thought that they had missed some items but it turned out to be just incredible value, 2 x 3 courses and 5 drinks under £80, Sarah and Paul are fantastic hosts and should be very ñtoud of their business. My only suggestion would be another shelf in the bathroom and something to hold toiletries in the shower (although these might be in the other rooms already) all in all i would thoroughly recommend the 5 Dials and will definitely stay again (maybe in the summer to enjoy the outside area)

A little gem!

We had a great couple of nights at the Five Dials. Sarah and Paul are fantastic hosts and lovely people who have made the Inn very covid safe. The room we had (Room 3) was very comfortable. It is a large room with a very comfortable king size bed and large bathroom with shower. There is a sofa where you can relax and watch tv. Breakfast was excellent and could be had either in the bar area or in your room. We ate dinner at the pub on our second night and had a fabulous meal. The menu is quite extensive and the pub is obviously very popular as it was packed to bursting. We will definitely return when we visit the area again.
