Atmosphere & Decor
Pros:
"Lovely cosy pub. Good selection of frequently changing ales & ciders, good food, friendly staff & locals and just an excellent overall atmosphere - a proper old school country tavern complete with wooden beams, a roaring fire and a nice beer garden."
"It’s been beautifully decorated with bright Mulberry Fabric with colorful pheasants on it and the chairs have all been recovered."
"This is our favourite hostelry, always a warm welcome, ambience comfortable."
"The perfect country pub, oozing atmosphere, in a beautiful village."
"A beautiful rustic pub in a lush little country village."
"The interior is wonderfully oldie worldie with wooden beams and tankards lining the ceiling."
"Quintessential old Pub with simply splendid rooms, a quaint old bar with a restaurant serving a delicious cuisine."
Cons:
"For a small country pub it is VERY loud locals partying till after midnight …. Was like trying to sleep in a nightclub, if staying PLEASE take EARPLUGS."
"Lovely pub but disappointed we were told to leave as we had our dog with us and he wasn't allowed inside."
"Unfortunately during the visit (eating indoors), we were bombarded with flies, although not the fault of the pub, (windows all open due to the heat), maybe moving forward screens could be put up over the windows to stop the flies, but still allowing the air in."
"Unfortunately when we arrived, we were advised the pub was NOT dog friendly!"
"We had a very frosty reception by the lady behind the bar when we arrived."

"The food is of the highest quality."
Cons:
"Food was absolutely lovely however the portion sizes for the accompanying vegetables was rather disappointing."
"Food was lovely, very big portions. I had venison casserole, beautiful taste but a little on the dry side."
"The food in the main was pretty food, the recommended belly pork was cooked to perfection but it was far too fatty and oily."
"Portion sizes where half size, we where asked to share a tray of vegetables what wasn't enough for one person never mind two, and my steak pie was only a slither of the size it was back in June."
"The pudding were a let down after that, as the meringue was shop bought and it wasn't a proper crumble."

Cons:
"Visited this pub with a group of 12 walking friends for a prearranged preordered meal yesterday. We arrived and were seated at the requested time of 6.30pm and waited an hour and 10 minutes before being served with the starters."
"The only slight grumble we had was the time it took for people to get their deserts so sadly we declined."
"Only downside was the wait for our meals to be prepared...but as the beer was so good it wasn't really a hardship - if you're really hungry it might be a bit more of a problem tho."
"The service was poor leaving us for several minutes with no cutlery and food going cold."
"Just one minor complaint, and that is when someone brings you the dessert menu it usually means they come back and take order. We ended up leaving after waiting a considerable time."
"We did have to wait quite a long time for our meals but we understand these are not normal times."
Accommodation & Facilities
Pros:
"Stayed here for one night as a last minute getaway. Room was absolutely lovely, food wonderful and the pub was incredibly friendly and cosy."
"Comfortable beer garden surrounding the entire pub with scenic views of the village."
"It’s especially fun in the summer when their huge beer garden is open and they have live music available."
"He has had all three of the available rooms remodeled with new bathrooms and decor."
"Not modern and luxurious but all you need for an overnight stay."
"The accommodation is fine, comfy bed and fabulous breakfast (of course!) - with an en-suite bathroom."
"Good clean room, comfy bed and functional shower."
Cons:
"It would be nice if they had room for a swing set or something for the little kids to play on but it’s not that much of a big deal."
"Parking can be a bit random but worth the effort."
"Parking a bit limited but, other than that, no issues at all."
"Lovely pub and restaurant but not easily accessible for disabled people but its up to you to make your choices. Food great although on this isolated occasion the garlic prawns for starter were over cooked and hard ... not succulent...."
