6/10 Good

Chose this place as a half way point between friends houses to meet to catch up. Have to say was very disappointed with the service received by some of the staff. Had a meal and asked for pork (seeing as it's a pig farm was expecting good pork) but then asked how we would like it cooked! Then when it arrived we checked that it was pork to be told 'It should be' -but wasn't!! Then when we had finished our meal we asked for a drink outside to be told that the pub had closed (was about 10.20pm) and they had run out of ice and lemon and could we bring our glasses back in when we were done!! Rooms nice and the 'Wallow' was an unexpected nice addition. Shame the record player no longer working. Loads of potential but missed the mark so many times.

This place in my opinion is simply perfect . A little gem and the loveliest most friendly and super helpful staff. I stay in a lot of hotels and I enjoyed my experience here way more than any hotel I ever stayed in! Will definitely be back and will recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Highly recommend

In a pretty little village, very cute with friendly staff who make you feel right at home. Lovely little pub with great food cooked in the outdoor kitchen so get all the Smokey grill effect and smells real good! The large garden is very relaxed where you can sit back and relax, there’s even plenty for kids to do with a straw bale seating area under under a tepee type cover. Indoors in just as nice with a rustic feel. The bedrooms are extremely cosy, the beds are really comfortable and everything is cleaned to a high standard.
