A quirky property which was very interesting. The room was beautiful and again, quirky. However, the walls were very thin and the noise from below the eating area was significant. There was also a barking dog that disturbed our sleep when we stayed. It was unclear whether that was the owners dog or another residents. Shame.

Nice English pub , but needs a little redecoration. Pub noise below bedroom until after closing time. Cat observed on table licking the butter.

Great service and delicious breakfast!
Check in was easy, our room was quaint and cosy. We loved the beams and authentic inn-feel! Breakfast was delicious and we ate there the first night which was very tasty. Service was superb, we felt very well looked after. Would highly recommend if looking to stay in the area.

Lovely pub
This is a lovely old pub in a nice location. We only stayed one night but the food was very good, the staff friendly and everything was very clean. There were also nice touches with complementary coffee, tea, hot chocolate, bottled water and cola all provided in the room. The bathroom was also very nice with really nice shampoo, shower gel etc provided. The only negative bit for us was the noise in our room (number 2). It did feel as if we were actually in the bar though in fairness it was quiet from around 11 o clock. It would have been 5 stars but for that..

Go for the food not the room
From other reviews we booked a room here. Our room was ok but the bed was very uncomfortable. The shower leaked and the shower head holder was broken. Shower was like a drip. Radiator in the bathroom also didn't work. No menu at breakfast, being asked what we wanted without one was a bit odd. Had great meal there in the evening, food was perfect. We booked about 5 days before and when we arrived we had been put on a table in the bar which was freezing and close to a door which had people walking in and out the whole time. We asked to move as my family were about to arrive and a few of the older ones really feel the cold. The waitress said that we were sitting there because we booked late and said we could move to the table in the restaurant area but we would have to take our own cutlery with us. I feel this is a bit odd and not what I would expect from other places, service wise. Overall go there for the room but I would no recommend staying.
