"Beautiful pub, with a warm atmosphere."
"The atmosphere and music couldn't have been more perfect."
"Such a beautiful village pub."
"Nice cosy little pub especially nice in the Winter by the fireplace."
"Lovely atmosphere and vibe."
"The food was fantastic the service was friendly and such a lovely atmosphere."
"The decor very tastefully done and lovely atmosphere."
Cons:
"It was a hot night, and there was only a skylight that opened, which was high up and of no use, so the fan just moved hot air round."
"Sat indoors, very warm, on asking for fresh air, was told windows were locked, so much for covid ventilation."
"The decor is somewhat shabby and tired."
"Dedecated vegans and animal lovers may find the antelope and longhorn cattle heads sticking out of the walls in the main room a challenge."
Service
Pros:
"The staff were also fantastic, friendly and our 2 dogs were made to feel very welcome too."
"The service was good, very good, and the lamb was beautifully cooked."
"Staff are really friendly and engaging in conversation make you feel relaxed and welcome."
"The guys who served us were a laugh and polite."
"The staff were fantastic nothing was too much trouble!"
"The service was really well-timed."
"The staff is professional, helpful and always smiling."
Cons:
"Reserved 2 rooms almost 12 months ago and 6 weeks before the reservation, they have cancelled because they received a larger booking."
"Staff said they would raise it with the kitchen but I left feeling they were more interested in just moving us on to get the next cover in."
"She came back to the table with an argumentative manor and stated that her and the chefs ate the food we sent back and stated the potatoes were fresh and crunchy."
"Sadly I also felt ignored, no one seemed interested to see if the meal was OK."
"On paying, when we eventually got the bill the deposit wasn't allowed for and we had to produce evidence as they had no record."
"Service was very slow."
"Had to ask for our order to be taken after waiting ages."
Accommodation
Pros:
"Rooms are neat and tidy and there is plenty of attractions in the area."
"Stayed overnight too, rooms are well furnished, spacious and comfy."
"Also has some lovely extras such as a shower cap, cotton wool and ear buds and even a razor in the hotel!"
"Excellent accommodation, very clean with good facilities - coffee pod machine, we even had a toaster :-)."
"Very clean and comfortable stay in Cabin #1 - made all the better by the friendly staff who were willing to go the extra mile to make the stay extra special even during the COVID-19 pandemic."
"Rooms very comfortable, warm and well equipped."
"The room was spotless."
Cons:
"The fridge in the room was a little noisy too but I am being very picky here."
"The room was cold and the underfloor heating had not been put on in advance so hence a cold room."
"The only reason I'm giving it a 4 star and not 5 was that the noise around the room sounded like there was nothing separating the rooms."
"There was a little road noise as we were in the room closest to the road but this was only noticeable at a reasonable time in the morning."
"The hotel room had fake eyelashes left on the bedside table, the floor isn't clean leaving us with dirty feet."
"Needed a chair or unit to put a case on, rather than a pot plant in the corner."
"I felt it was bad form that there were two bottles of water on the table on arrival that were actually charged at £4.75 each."
Food
Pros:
"The roast dinner was perfect and so was the fish and chips."
"I have had a lunch here a couple of times and the food has been very nice."
"The food was amazing, beautifully presented and nothing was too much trouble."
"Food was yummy and staff were really nice and very attentive and friendly."
"Great food. Came here with a couple of friends on a quiet Friday lunchtime and the food was fab."
"Food is exceptional and a nice wine list to accompany the food."
"The food was delicious, hot, and all delivered together."
Cons:
"The roast beef was very fatty the roast potatoes was hard and the cabbage if that's what it was tasted rubbery."
"What came on the plate was an oversalted mix of oyster, chestnut and other farmed mushrooms."
"Ordered an expensive Chateaubriand done medium-rare, which arrived closest to well-done."
"The food was disappointing. I had the crispy duck for stater and there was more salad than duck on the plate...not worth the £9.50!"
"Uncooked raw and inedible potatoes, beef riddled in fat, chewy calamari and a shrivelled up poor excuse for a brownie are the meal highlights."
"The pork belly was almost inedible."
"Starters were excessively oily and battered and lacked interest or flavour."
Value
Pros:
"Its no secret that this restaurant is more pricey than most but the saying you get what you pay for is absolutely correct in thus instance."
"You pay a little more than the average, you get what you pay for and this place is worth every penny."
"£30 for two courses seemed reasonable for the quality."
"Very reasonable rate of £95 for the very spacious and well appointed room, even included a drink at the bar."
"Would absolutely go back, terrific value for money, excellent rooms and amazing staff."
Cons:
"Overpriced, and trickily so, sides come on top, drinks are twice what you would expect them to be, and they have compulsory service charge."
"The electric vehicle charging is very expensive (£7.50 flat rate or £15 overnight)."
"For £80+ I expect more than over done roast spuds and a cold room."
"Our total meal cost £121.75 and then to put a £15.21 service charge on is a bit much."
"The Mother's day menu was actually a compulsory 3 course meal and £45 a head with no pricing option for less."
"£48.75 is to me expensive."
"Food was far too expensive for what is merely a pub, plus they add a 12% service charge."
