I didn't stay in the hotel so cannot comment on the room, I stayed for a meal Starter was good Burger very tasty but frozen chips had been refried more than once. Friend had lobster Niçoise salad- total disaster. Potatoes old and spongy, no egg, black olives or dressing. Served without the bread. Fine beans were soggy and mushy. Sent... More

Hello, please accept my apologies for your poor experience - it is very unlike our chef's but it is clear that they lost concentration for a short period of time. I am confident that they are again fully focussed and that our standards are consistently high again. Best regards Grant More

Selection of real Ales. Landlord and staff friendly and welcoming Only had a snack but good food, and nice pint Would return again hopefully to stay. The Hotel had recently been had a refurb downstairs. There was a dinning area in a conservatory and rattan style garden furniture outside.

A very lovely village hotel in a beautiful village, the room could do with updating but clean and the bed was so comfortable The food served in restaurant was excellent & reasonably priced. The staff were all friendly & the host Grant could not do more to make our stay very pleasant. James

It is a shame that the hotel is spoiled by the very poor standard of the rooms There are some things that you expect from any hotel and that is a warm room and hot water - it's not a lot to ask for and I am not being over critical but the room was really cold and the shower... More

Hi Kevin, thanks for taking the time to write - it is true that our rooms had perhaps past their sell by date but we tried to sell them at a price that reflected their value. Please to say that the improvements works have transformed them - 50% complete, remaining rooms due mid June.... Best regards Grant More

When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised as this is a really nice pub. We were given our key for room 6 and went up creaky stairs at back of pub. Room was ok but... More

Booked this hotel through a living social deal. On arrival very happy with our surroundings and warm welcome. Bar was busy and lovely and warm. Then the shock came when we were shown up to our room. Up a very creaky stair into one of the smallest basic doubles I have stayed in. Furniture the cheapest of the cheap. No... More

There was no shower only a hose fitting over the bath taps and luke warm water from the hot tap. Our welcome was friendly and... More

Living within walking distance of The Goblin means we have never stayed but we've been to the bar and restaurant many times. The food will never challenge Heston Blumenthal for innovation nor will Marco Pierre White or Jamie Oliver be looking over their shoulder. However, to me and my family it serves the type of food we enjoy in a... More
