Peter May 26, 2026 07:22:08 PM
Summary: Good location and fairly priced. Suite room was good for us as a family and TVs were large. Staff were quite busy (they are also running a busy bar and restaurant) but generally helpful. No fridge in the room but generally good.
Ross May 11, 2026 04:05:00 PM

Carmel May 2, 2026 09:08:06 PM
Summary: Sadly, this property doesn’t offer a breakfast. Also the pub’s restaurant doesn’t offer roast dinners during the week, only weekends. The restaurant just outside the pub has a brilliant full English breakfast menu and great coffee. It called The Old Grain Store and I would really recommend eating in this lovely restaurant.

Summary: We booked for 1 night and were pleasantly surprised at how fantastic the location was so decided to stay for 2 nights. The room was a large corner room that was light and airy with a great wall mounted TV. Also the room had an equally large and very clean bathroom. The great positive of this pub is that they allow dogs to stay and this was the major reason for us booking. The staff were so dog friendly it was lovely to see. Now, for the negatives…to access the room we had to climb 30 steps up. This might not seem a lot for people without respiratory conditions, but for us it was a huge challenge. I would suggest the owners must explain this for people like us oldies with disabilities then you have the full picture of what staying in a pub is like. Next, the room was great but the carpet was grubby and needs replacing, it’s a pale colour and I would suggest a grey flecked colour or something similar so that stains are not visible. The bed was quite creaky and had seen better days, although comfy enough as the mattress was of reasonable quality. Food in the pub’s restaurant is not up to a standard you would expect in a normal restaurant. Our first night the two restaurant staff were rude as they initially ignored us but later apologised and offered us a free meal. Second night completely different as the staff were brilliant and service was Impeccable. The young blonde lady really has a great future in this industry, as she is professional, fun and she’s a credit to your pub.
Craig Apr 19, 2026 01:43:01 AM
Summary: Breakfast was not available due to a change of operations.
SARAH Apr 10, 2026 07:48:39 PM
Summary: Lovely room, great food in restaurant. Hotel doesn't do breakfast in week but lovely cafe next door doing breakfasts etc. Car park close too, have to pay but free 7pm to 7am.
