    Liked: Comfortable room and nice shower. Convenient for parking/driving to local sights. Really lovely staff and good food. Excellent place for our autumn break.

    Disliked: Very attractive, comfortable good quality furnishings and decoration. The only things I would sort out are a heavy duty curtain pull, one bright lamp close to coffee machine, and stop handbasin tap dripping.

    A nice hotel, but overpriced

    Liked: The location was good and the room was nicely decorated.

    Disliked: If I had paid £150 for this room I would have been happy. But at £239 for one person I would have expected to have been able to get a drink at the bar after 11pm, to have had breakfast earlier than 8am. I would have wanted a long mirror in the bedroom, a mirror that I could actually see in the bathroom, real milk in the fridge,not just sachets of oat milk and a bottle of mineral water in the room, not just warm tap water. I also couldn’t park in the car park as this is a pub with rooms rather than a hotel and staying guests are not prioritised. I enjoyed my stay, but this was not value for money.

    Liked: Lovely room. Perfect location for us. Great staff. Great breakfast. Good wine list.

    Disliked: Cleanliness wasn’t the best. Curtain was broken, shower head leaked and the taps were hard to make sure they turned off properly. Hairs in shower, dusty on the snacks so they must have been there a while, the “taking a nap sign” stopped the door from shutting so we had to quickly slam it so it didn’t get caught.
