Room was a little small, but it was adequate for the first be night stay.
Generally clean but nothing too special.
Would go back.
Pub meal was excellent. We had the steak and can thoroughly recommend it!

Good stay
Friendly and helpful staff, and allowed us an early check in to the room early as we were going to a wedding. Room was rather small and only had a skylight, no "proper" window but we didn't spend much time in the room. Small shower room, but the shower itself was great. Good breakfast.

The room was very damp.
Mould in the shower and over the walls in the bathroom.
It was a pub so noise is expected but the music did get louder as the evening went on so unable to hear the TV.
Kitchen area for getting coffee and toast was very dirty although the breakfast was nice.

Stop over for long journey home from Cornwall, stayed in a family room - 1 adult & 2 kids but given 1single & 1double. Was ok but not ideal. Room was dusty & in need of good clean under beds & behind furniture, hanging cobwebs. The shower door was hanging off although could still use. Decor very drab which added to dated feel of the room. Whilst the beds were comfy the pillows were flat. Lots of tea & coffee supplied, great tv with choices for kids. Had an evening meal, food was great although had to move as from garden as the language from younger drinkers was a shocker and the kids felt v uncomfortable hearing it. Not really an issue with the owners but a local pub with a young crowd so something to be mindful of if travelling with kids. Overall we enjoyed our stay, owners were lovely as was the food, and ok value for money.

Shower point blank did not even turn on in my room, pillows were basically empty pillow cases and the mattress so thin I could feel each individual slat of timber through the mattress, worst spent 65 pounds of my life.
