    Road outside was noisy even at 5:00am on a Sunday morning. Would have preferred louder church bells than traffic.

    Wonderful traditional inn.

    Nothing of mention. This is an old building remodeled to accommodate your needs.

    The rooms were fresh and clean with modern amenities. The staff was wonderful, helpful, friendly and overall enriched our experience.

    Noise outside early morning because of nearby shop delivery. But not in property’s control - Just a warning to others!

    Quirky, old, well decorated and comfortable

    There was an alarm that went off in à neighbouring room, in the middle of the night. It went on for about an hour. We think the room was unoccupied.

    Excellent breakfast included.

    Blind in bedroom didn't quite fit the window and therefore light from the motion sensor of the store opposite streamed through the room when activated; this happened quite often. I did however mention this to a member of staff at breakfast.

    Great selection for breakfast. Cosy room. Friendly and accommodating staff.

    Lovely stay, Very welcoming staff with a very cosy comfortable feel to the place. Room was everything you would want for a good nights sleep. Coffee/Tea En-suite with powerful shower. The bed was very comfy. If you like the old traditional pub feeling then this place is great for you. Coffee and Breakfast in the morning was fantastic.

    We were disturbed by noise from within the building in the early hours. It sounded like someone was moving furniture around. However, a large fan is provided which we used to generate white noise.

    We frequented this pub/hotel about twenty years ago - and not much has changed. It offers a decent sized bedroom which is clean and comfortable and benefits from a good wifi connection. The pub/restaurant area is full of ambience and the food is good (we had both a lunch and breakfast). The staff were extremely friendly.

    The member of staff checking us in asked if we had a dinner reservation and we felt became rude and had no interest in talking to us any further once we said we were eating somewhere else. We understand there is competition between pubs but we actually had just gotten married two days before & had gift vouchers for the other pub, and every intention of having drinks at this pub afterwards. Made us feel very awkward.

    Really wonderful room, comfortable bed and nice bathroom. Lovely pub for a drink and breakfast included was very good.
