Lovely quiet sunny room and staff all very friendly and helpful. Everything great but breakfast could be more generous at the price (poor quality bread/toast, which we had to request twice). My cooked breakfast excellent having said that.

The breakfast was the highlight of the stay! The room didn't feel clean & neither was it. Cobwebs on the lampshades & hair (not mine) on the floor. The bathroom shower head needs descaling as the jets of water from it was going everywhere. The actual shower doesnt stay up & it keeps sliding down the pole! The shower door has limescale on it & the rubber which is suppose to stop water going on the floor is hanging off, so when you get out of the shower, the floor is soaked. The tv remote was absolutely filthy with markings on it worn off. The tv mounted on the wall is in a very strange place as when you are laying in bed, you have to watch it at a certain angle. The actual tv looks more like a PC monitor. Bottles of water supplied without any glasses to put the water in to!! Attention to detail is paramount & for the price I was charged, I would've expected a bit more for my money Atten

Really lovely venue. Rooms are surprisingly large, look smaller on the outside. Bed was comfortable. The pub had loads of character. The staff were really friendly too.

The accommodation was really very nice, clean and comfortable. My only comment was the breakfast first morning ok but the second morning they had run out if 2 of the cereal choices and also Hash browns. The staff were lovely but I must say I was disappointed that morning as we were leaving to go home and we were unable to enjoy the breakfast that should have been available.

Pub is quaint. Breakfast is good. Bed was comfortable. Room was sparsely decorated and the floor wasn’t clean. Came back after dark and there were no lights on to find our way back to the room. Felt it was a lot of money for we got.

Good, spacious and clean rooms, comfy beds. Ceiling lights were either one third on, fully on, or flashing continuously (Room 6, reported back to the staff). Food was generally good but the service both at dinner and breakfast was INCREDIBLY slow to the point of annoyance. Additional staff are needed front and back of house. And what pickled red cabbage is doing in a Thai green curry I have no idea… certainly different.

The property is in the same grounds of the very cosy traditional pub. Staff really nice and friendly. Our room was in a quiet corner. Spotlessly clean but it was very bland. Very high ceiling with grey walks and plain white duvet It would have been more welcoming with a colourful throw on the bed, perhaps a picture on the wall something to soften it. Other than that (hopefully constructed criticism) it was a nice place to stay and we would go again.

Super hyggeligt sted gemt godt væk i en lille landsby . Ægte engelsk land idyl med en dejlig have hvor man kunne slappe af og også nyde den gode mad fra køkkenet. Super venligt personale der gjorde alt for at man følte sig velkommen.
