it was that bad we did not stay, the room smelt musty and damp, the parking was a dirt patch of land full of potholes, not much happened after 9 o'clock, you need to visit the property again it's not doing your image any favours.

Had to cancel my stay, yet they billed my credit card for 12 nights. Admin error at best, theft at worst. I'm letting my bank deal with it. Would not recommend unless this gets resolved.

Room wasn't very clean- the bin hadn't been emptied from a previous stay. Some slats on the window were missing resulting in us having to use a towel on the window to prevent anyone looking in. There was also no hot water in the morning…(manager was told about the hot water in the morning )

Our first room had a bit of an odd smell, but the staff responded quickly and moved us to a new room. The complimentary breakfast was also much better than we expected!

We stayed here for one night and it was perfect for that. The ladies in the pub are super friendly and we enjoyed the big breakfast and evening dinner.

This wasnt a pleasant stay. Room had so many cobwebs and the shower had a shower curtain.
In tge breakfast area it needed a good clean. The bar person was lovely.
The breakfast was adequate but lacked flavour

Just a base.

We were expecting a pod, but had a room round the back of the pub. Parking was easy. It was warm, and quiet. Staff very friendly. Breakfast good. In the room the tv looked precarious. The privacy blinds had been chewed by a dog and some bits were missing. The pillows were very poor( I always take my own) and the bed linen had not seen an iron. The towels were adequate and the water was hot but the shower hose needed a good clean with a nail brush. There was a small garden area with a picnic bench but the bench was rather rickety and there were a lot of big weeds in it. The twin beds were 2ft 6in each, rather small for adults but comfortable enough for a couple of nights.
Perhaps I am just used to higher standards of comfort but a little investment and better housekeeping would be rewarded with more income for the owners.

Staff were friendly and inviting but the property in itself could do with a real good clean and update, chalets were quite good up-to-date with nice bathroom but mattresses need to be looked at as not very supportive

We arrived early but checking in was no problem. Very nice people. Food was nice too. Unfortunately we weren't too hungry so didn't get to sample the wonderful breakfast we read about. But the poached eggs were perfect.
We stayed in a cabin which had everything you need for a short stay. It was warm and the bed was comfortable. The only thing I would say is the basin in the shower room was so small and awkward to use when brushing your teeth. A small niggle. Shower was fine, and very large.

Very welcoming. Staff very helpful and friendly. Twin room small with limited storage but comfortable. Excellent breakfasts. We were there to visit Snape Maltings which was a short and easy drive away. Recommended and would stay there again.
