Ambiance and Decor

Cons:

• "Needs a bit maintenance and cleaning but I still stick to the main point which is food and service, both A*!"
• "Needs a jolly good clean up. Toilets are very run down."
• "Staying just a few doors up from the Yew Tree for one night. Popped in for a quick drink on a Monday afternoon and sat in the courtyard which was a little dirty with lots of cigarette butts laying around, not great when we had our dog."
• "Slightly absent minded male staff and the music perhaps a touch too loud and incongruous for an ancient thatched building."
• "All style, no substance. Concentrate on food not your menu and decor."
• "Another annoying thing was that it was empty but they still put us next to the serving station so we got all the work gossip with our meal."
• "The building and setting is beautiful the obnoxious manager is very lucky I wasn't there to witness brash and bully like attitude towards my family."
