Warm and welcoming stay

Pros: Warm and welcoming traditional pub. All staff were exceptional; friendly, helpful and professional. Excellent food and varied menu, log fires and great choice of beer. This is a historic pub so rooms are a bit dated, but the bed was super comfy with high quality linen so a great nights sleep. Plenty of parking.

Cons: Nothing, although basic toiletries like shampoo/shower gel would be good for the price.

Wonderful warm welcome and old-fashioned hospitality

Pros: A great place run by great people: they couldn't have been more accommodating. A proper old-style country inn with loads of history and a fantastic atmosphere. Decent dining, too, and though it was minus 8 outside the rooms were lovely and warm. 390 years in and this is an excellent place.

Patricia 10/10

Pros: Stayed one night in 2 rooms on 18th November. Staff attentive and friendly. Dinner served in small area with 4/5 tables and a coal fire which was lovely on a cold November night. Menu extensive, large portions and the food was very good. Breakfast was cooked and served by Peggy who was delightful. Hope to go back and would definitely recommend this property

Pros: The welcome staff were lovely, room was nice although in a very old building it was done lovely. Food was excellent along with a great breakfast
