The room was clean and tidy and the bed was very comfy luckily there was a fan in the room as it was during the extremely hot weather and the windows opened too
Great little shop across the road
Everyone was really friendly and helpful

Great overnight stay, an option for breakfast would have been helpful, but would definitely stay again.

This place is a disgrace and certainly not a place a solo female traveller should stay in. Apart from isolation and security issues theres no phone in the bed room, no WiFi and I had no cell phone signal (ee).
Alss there was no emergency contact. There's no food available even tho the web site shows a menu. The nearest supermarket is 5 miles away. And to cap it all I found a set of keys to my room clearly labeled with the no. on a window sill outside.
I was the only resident and felt extremely vulnerable. Despite 3 emails ( via Hotels.com site I have had no response.

The pub was supposed to shut at 11 but Karaoke was still happening at 1.30 AM, it was so loud and no thoughts for hotel guests at all it was impossible to sleep even with ear plugs.
I was also locked in the pub in the morning so couldn't get out and had to find the keys

Parking OK, spaces on road opposite. No food served by hotel, including breakfast. Pop up kebab van from 5.30pm. Apparently, different pop up vans on different nights. Nice choice of ales. Pub seemed popular with locals, which did make it rather noisy. Staff friendly and helpful. Hotel was a little tired looking. Bed comfortable.

Great pub, but poor sleep

The pub itself is nice and seems a friendly place for people to go and enjoy

Unfortunately on the night we were staying there was karaoke and plenty of people in the pub until 1am gone and the sound came into my room with ease and this unfortunately made me unable to sleep. I went downstairs and asked if they had anything I could use to help drown out the music but the barman said no and pointed out to me that this is a pub and it's licensed to run until 2am so this will be going on for some time still

I understand it's a pub and that but when the room is allowing the sound in due to the volume and being above the bar area it wasn't ideal.

We were told in advance no breakfast would be available which was fine, but had we been told in advance of a late finish for the pub for karaoke and that the rooms aren't the best at keeping the noise out we would have taken our stay elsewhere due to long drives there and onwards the following day.

It looks very cute but the shower and windowsill was horrendously mouldy. The shower spray holder was broken which required a hand held shower. The heating in the room wasnt working and there was no lighting in the hall/ stairwell ..leaving early was a feel the way process and as with a pub it was incredibly noisy until midnight/one.Disappointed that a continental breakdast takeaway wasnt available due to leaving early. ..in rural area without shops or corner stores open.
The staff were friendly , comfortable bed and pillows and a much needed warm snuggly blanket.
Good wifi signal and TV chanels.

Reward night

Typical village pub accommodation in an old building.
Creaking stairs and uneven floor was expected, bed was comfy but no heating at 10pm but okay in the morning.
No food at night but a reasonable continental breakfast.

Beautiful, peaceful, country pub/hotel. Staff were really pleasant. Mobile food vendor was both reasonably priced and tasted amazing. I would happily and hopefully will stay again.
