I came here to meet a friend for a meal. If you are not a lager drinker there was a choice of only two bitters. Neither of them have any character. The food was OK. The steak was supposed to be medium rare but like most pubs, ended up as medium. I forgot that I had paid for an extra... More

Nice setting, lovely building and the food is pretty good. Ok it's not the sort of place I would go to for fine dining but for horses for course it was very good. 9 of us ate, including drinks, for £129 on a sunday lunch - excellent value with various offers. Staff were helpful and friendly too.

Then on checking in our room had not been serviced and was also very cold. Waited with in laws in their room while ours was done. Asked if the heating could be turned... More

Amazing value bed & breakfast, pub has loads of character (beams, sloping floors etc), staff were mostly very friendly, breakfast was a bit slow on the service side but choices were good, bathroom was very basic. Would recommend.

Lovely reasonable lunch, excellent service, open fire, quaint surroundings. I had a jacket potato with prawns and smoked salmon, partner had mixed grill, I also had side of onion rings - all tasty and nicely cooked and presented. Partner had caramel chocolate brownie with cream, I had Jamaican ginger cheesecake with cream for dessert - both naughtily delicious . Got... More
