The shower had some remedial work to the tiles and had mastic smeared along the joints, black mould had started to accumulate
The staff especially Acer and Gavin were exceptional, nothing was too much, they are a credit to your team

Not a happy tummy after eating not gluten free foo
The pub itself was nice and the rooms were adequate for our needs.
Unfortunately it seemed that the kitchen staff don’t know the difference between gluten free food and non gluten free food, the item in question was a roll for breakfast. It looked a lot like a brioche roll and tasted too nice for GF lol.
I did email the place to explain my wife’s discomfort with the food and have not had a reply hence this not so good review.
I will repeat myself from my email and hope the people in the kitchen get to hear how they basically poisoned my wife, causing her great discomfort and vomiting on our journey home. This was one week ago and she is still suffering

Not great, wouldn't stay again. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, church bells rang all evening into the night which was not advertised. The room had a really strong smell of washing detergent which was off putting and somehow made the room feel unclean.

Really disappointing
Room a little tired with a rather uncomfortable bed. Lots of strange knick-knacks eg a ceramic horse’s head, 2 old trunks acting as a table and several bird ornaments. Shower good though. What was more disappointing was the evening meal. Caesar salad and chips(!) off, then hummus off after we ordered it. Cauliflower steak was 2 large pieces of cauliflower raw in the middle served with stone cold fries. Inedible. The mini pudding of cheesecake was tiny. In fairness to the waitress, who was very attentive and a bit embarrassed, we weren’t charged for the cauliflower and given a further discount, but this was definitely NOT the gastropub experience we were expecting. When we left the pub just after 9, there were only 2 customers left. Said it all really.
