Quaint pub
Lovely old pub in a quaint place. large room and great value for money. Good breakfast included in the price. Also fantastic lunch which was super. Would definitely stay again.
Very friendly staff. Olde Worlde charm. Excellant breakfast and very good Shiraz. My friend and I came for Christian conference at the showground and will definitely hope to stay again, possibly for longer next time

Could be so much better
Overall Disappointed.
Food in pub was v good. Staff friendly.
Bed comfy, BUT room in dire need of updating and painting. Was drab and dreary with a filthy chair. walls in terrible state in room and bathroom.
Stated on my form that I was vegetarian and to reception desk but was given ham sandwich for my packed breakfast so therefore had no breakfast.
Would not stay here again.

Lovely Inn in pretty village with swans
I love coming to stay here, it’s one of my favourite places and I try to come every year. The proprietor is charming and funny and often feeds my dog sausages! The atmosphere is great.

Good b&b within a nice village
For the price of bed and large breakfast could not fault. Could not get a table for dinner that night so disappointed nothing was suggested at check-in. Went to Italian next door. Too many body washes and soaps supplied. They were everywhere. Good selection on quantity of tea and coffee although.

The staff were helpful and the food good; although the bed was comfortable, the bedroom and the bedroom corridor were very tired and needing refurbishment; our impression of our room was sealed by there not being enough hooks for the curtains to hang properly.
