I was disappointed as when I made the booking it says breakfast included, once I confirmed the booking it said room only, the property still says breakfast available but this is not an option and misleading, I have complained to Expedia, but this has not changed

Décor wise the room was fine, water pressure wasn’t great but was ok. The issue was there is no ventilation in the room. There is a double skinned window, the first was the original window and that is now seized shut, then there is a more modern layer which can slide up but all this allows is the convection from the old window to try to cool the room. It was a sweat box and I ended up sleeping in the car. Management there are useless and couldn’t have the decency to reply to emails. Staff just wanted to close up early cause there was no customers and I’m really not surprised. Doubt they will be open much longer with customer service and facilities like this.

Stayed here a few times on this occasion it was only after I checked in I was told there is no hot water during my stay, not ideal when you have just finished work

A bit of a bizarre set up.
The main access is via the pub unless it’s between the hours of 2100 and 1200 in which case you have to use the fire exit. Check out process doesn’t exist.
Breakfast isn’t an option, despite being listed as.
The road is pretty noisy. But the beds are very comfy.

The staff made up for a disappointing cold room with broken toilet on arrival by finding another room. Some options were not available on the menu but we had an enjoyable evening and would love to come back in the summer to enjoy the outdoor space.

Lovely country pub. Good food. Friendly staff. Rooms clean and adequate. Comfy bed and hot shower. The floorboards seemed very uneven with two noticeable depressions. There were no staff available on checkout to report this to.

Friendly staff, good variety of drinks in the pub, lovely beer garden for a nightcap. Room was great but clearly part way through a renovation. The room was obviously recently decorated but the bathroom was much older, although all clean and working. Didn’t stay for breakfast as we had to be away before 9am. Free parking on site about 10m from the stairs to the room.

The room had a recent make over -
Pros: Feature wall headboard, bedside lighting, bed, duvet, towels, toilet paper, secondry double glasing.
Cons: Floor coverings, Lampshade missing from centre room light, Showerhead not fitting holder properly, bathroom mirror falls off wall if touched.
Room for improvement!

There was no body in the hotel when I got there. I rang the contact number so many times and could hear the phone ringing from out but no body answered it. It was so disheartening that I had to drive of and sleep in my car in a lay-by along the road. I have since been trying to get a refund but have had no response so far even though I was told the manager will call me.
I am really frustrated now and need a refund as soon as possible.

The Pelican was a lovely place to stay on our trip; the surrounding lawns, garden, pond and brook were lovely to sit by on a warm day, and the dinner we had was really excellent. Our room was nice and had plenty of room, but was very, very warm (it faced the afternoon sun), and there is no A/C. The weather was unusually warm for England during our stay… We purchased electric fans to help with the heat and left them there for the Inn - we hope they will be made available to future guests.

Great bed. Well decorated bedroom. Bathroom good - a little chilly. Hot shower over bath. Could do with a grab rail on wall over bath to hold on to as you get in and out of the bath

No Breakfast (despite website) but Meal was Great!
We always book B&B (breakfast included in price) so imagine our surprise when checking in we were told that there was no breakfast! We could buy, at extra cost, a continental breakfast bag. Hence only two stars! The manager was apologetic but we also had it on our papers. We chose the Pelican because it was exactly the same price but with breakfast as a nearby place without breakfast!
Anyway, we had a lovely evening meal in the restaurant in the Pelican, so we can recommend that.
The room was cold - single glazed windows and a not very warm radiator but there was an electric heater in the wardrobe which we used. There was no heating in the bathroom. The bed was comfortable.
