Lovely place shame about a little mishap.
Check in was great. Showed to my room. Which was exactly what I expected. I went down for an evening meal and beverage. I have to say the food was great and very reasonably priced. Again service was great. The issue I had was after the pub closed. I sat on the bottom of the bed a few minutes later it broke and I fell the rough it. I weigh 12 stone 8 lbs. There was nothing I could do so had to sleep on the floor. Apart from that it’s a lovely place.

Don't believe the 10/10 reviews!
The room was ok at best. It wasn't very apparent that it has a shared bathroom. I double checked and they only mention I could see was by clicking for more information and midway through the section on the bathroom it did say shared. It wasn't obvious from my initial booking. The bathroom wasn't very nice, stray hairs, poor shower. I tried not to use it as much as possible. The bed wasn't great, some of the slats fell out! I had to replace them. There was some noise from other guests, at 22:30 someone was calling and whistling at their dog to come up the stairs. The stairs by the way are steep and narrow so not great if you have mobility issues. The village and pub itself looked nice but I didn't eat. There are a few 10/10 reviews, I fail to see how anyone would ever rate it a 10! It was cheap so I can't complain about that but I wouldn't return unfortunately. The room was basic and a bit grubby looking in places, the telly was on the windowsill for some reason....not great when you shut the curtains.

4 nights booked. No contact from hosts. Paper bag left in room with 1 apple, 1 miniature childs long life orange juice, 1 small bar of chocolate, and best of all 1 Brioche roll, so stale that the fat had been absorbed by the paper bag. Nothing left at all for day 2. I have spent 4 decades as a professional business consultant and this enterprise is quite literally indifferent to the needs of their guests. I could never recommend this business to anyone. I left after 2 nights and consider I was being generous in staying that long. Avoid.

Dog faeces everywhere is a worrying indication
The pub beer 'garden' is littered with dog faeces and I watched staff from the kitchen walk through and past it. You have to walk through this from the car park to the rooms entrance; which is grimy and dilapidated. The shared bathroom was dirty and had no toilet roll. The breakfast bag contained a rock solid brioche roll and a child size OJ carton. The bedding had not been ironed and was super crumpled, the bottom bedsheet was bobbled. The only relief was that it appeared clean. The room had been recently decorated as the pub is under new ownership. With faeces everywhere at the entrance to the kitchen there was no way I was going to eat or drink there - it says a lot about your standards if you're happy for customers and staff to walk through that disgusting beer 'garden' every day.

Fun stay!
Lovely stay! We got there late and the restaurant part of the bar downstairs was closing but our kind bed and breakfast owner asked them to wait a bit and feed us. The bar was fun and had a variety of British beers. Absolutely recommend it!
