Very friendly staff, nice big room (called falow),
excellent breakfast, excellent evening meal staff very helpful sorting out a taxi for us, the room was warm due to heatwave so needed to keep windows open so we did notice some noise from the kitchen fans but this could not be helped. Very good car parking. Overall an excellent 2 day visit and would highly recommend.

Could do with some more ventilation in small bedroom as very warm during the night
Or use if a fan in room.

Lovely Country pub/hotel with excellent service.

We stayed at Higher Buck whilst attending a recent wedding, and it was a great experience. Plenty of car parking space (could do with a car charger). We had a really nice welcome, and were shown to a really nice room. Tastefully decorated, kettle, tea & biscuits! Good bathroom, with very nice towels and goods etc.

We left for our wedding through the restaurant, which was packed and the food looked good.

The room was very nice, and the only reason for 4* on comfort was that the room was very hot, and having to have the windows open meant that the road noise was an issue.

Breakfast was great - very high quality and very nice service.

I would strongly recommend this inn - but I would ask for a back room away from the road

Fantastic Food and service

An absolutely beautiful pub with lovely rooms in a really picturesque village. All of the staff were friendly and professional, the service was excellent. Room was lovely, really cosy and warm. Excellent shower. Excellent choice at the bar, with 4 hand pull beers as well as a choice of lagers. The food was just superb! Great choice, clearly homemade, fantastic quality. Would absolutely recommend.

Lovely setting. Great food and service but bedroom, though beautifully clean, was tiny and not worth what we paid with nowhere to sit.. Also we were put on a soulless table in the corner at the back for our evening meal. We presumed this was as they were busy, but realised as we left that this was not the case (was hard to see from where we were sitting)

We stopped overnight on our way North. The welcome was friendly and helpful. Accommodation was beautiful, spacious and immaculate. Dinner was delicious, excellent choices but service a bit slow although very friendly. Breakfast was great with self service cereals and fruit etc plus delicious cooked options including home smoked salmon. Definitely worth seeking out

We stayed in the cottage which was adjacent to the pub. The bedroom and bathroom are a good size. Bed really comfy. Small wall mounted TV, a bit dark in the room.
Our bedroom window was on the ground floor which looked out onto the street. Unfortunately, they had table and chairs outside our window, for people to have a drink. Therefore, we kept the blinds closed, for some privacy.

Great food. The room located at the front of the building on the road was extremely noisy and the bed wasn’t the most comfortable. Fine for an over night stay. Go for the food, but maybe stay somewhere else.

Lovely B&B

Our room was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. Very comfortable bed too. The only downsides were lack of storage as we stayed for 3 nights and only had space for 5 hangers between the two of us so had to live out of the suitcase which wasn’t ideal. Also, the emergency green light on the ceiling in the room lit the room up at night and kept us awake. That said, the food in the restaurant is outstanding and the staff were very friendly. Would stay again as the location is beautiful but hopefully in a bigger room.

Mixed thoughts regarding Higher Buck

Rooms vary considerably, I was allocated the Roe I appreciate the weather has been hotter than we are used to but this room was uncomfortably hot with only 1 window, which was opened for the time I was there. Staff did get a small fan but it made little difference. The Higher Buck is positioned on a road junction which is extremely busy and with the window open the noise was quite loud and disturbing. Staff did try to help but this didn't work. Food was good and place was clean.
