    The staff were efficient, friendly, and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious. Great sized room and bathroom. Could have done with a second chair and larger space for hospitality tray, kettle, etc.

    A lovely country pub in beautiful surroundings. We had a very warm welcome as soon as we arrived. The staff were very accommodating and made us feel at home straight away. The Sunday lunch was absolutely delicious and even my husband being a chef, said it’s one of the best Sunday lunches he’s ever had! Highly recommended!! The rooms were very clean and tastefully decorated and the beds very comfortable. Breakfast was a full English and again very good indeed. I can’t recommend this place enough. We will definitely be booking again very soon!

    I did think that their kitchen closed rather early but suspect it suits most people. It wasn't a problem for me

    I've stayed here before & probably will do again, all very pleasant & a lovely room.

    Shame the bar closes early but I get that because of the location. Wish the single room layout could be configured differently to include a chair.

    Food and staff lovely.

    There wasn't anything if I'm honest that we didn't like.

    Absolutely fantastic stay with my partner. Nice room, clean, and had everything that we wanted. Food was nice, and the lady who served breakfast was always so lovely (we stayed for three nights). Ate food each evening here, and also breakfast, generally, a very lovely time! Priced well, and nice location to explore the north on a quick getaway. Easy to find, and easy to park at. Pub wasn't overly loud which is always nice (we stay at loads of places).

    Tricky to negotiate the door at the foot of the staircase leading to the rooms, when carrying luggage.

    Friendly atmosphere. Well appointed bedroom, huge bathroom. Friendly and accommodating staff. Excellent breakfast. Very dog friendly. Thank you 💐

    Great place! We were doing an organised run at the nearby reservoir and this place was just up the road. Really lovely pub, we stayed two nights. Fabulous food! 😋 and the staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable too. So peaceful on a night. Also..... We were lucky enough to be there on a Sunday, their Sunday lunch was delicious!!
