We stayed for a weekend . The food and service can’t be faulted . The breakfast is amazing , and the menu is delicious. We ate here twice over the weekend . One of the best places to eat in the area . A beautiful pub , lovely outdoor seating also . Really disappointed with the rooms tho . Does not match the standard of the pub and food which we both expected . The beds were comfy but the rooms tired and dated , I’d say early 00’s late 90’s. . The bathroom was really poor . Tiles loose around the bath , the tile adhesive everywhere is worn, coming away and mould in places . Rust around the mirror as well . The room itself was just about ok . You could see bubble marks on one of the wall where it had damp and had been painted over to a poor standard . There is a damaged fire exit light that has been fixed with plasters stuck all over the light , where the casing has smashed!! Wow ! How has that been allowed !? . Even the benches outside the rooms have been neglected, and need a few coats of wood protection over them . Overall an amazing place to eat , but unfortunately one of the poorest rooms I’ve stayed in for some time . Such a shame , but it’s in desperate need of some modernisation and basic maintenance. Should have got an air b&b for the price . Will definitely come again for food , but would not recommend staying , which is a real shame.

I stayed here recently with friends for a Friday and Saturday night. The room is a good size, but was in need of some attention. The bed and bathroom were clean but the floor needed cleaning, as did the windows. The windows have blinds but these were partly broken, and they don't cover the full width of the window, so you probably won't get much sleep after sunrise or before sunset. The windows are only single-glazed, so there may be a little noise from the pub, and you'll hear most passing cars (although the road is quiet overnight). The wi-fi only works some of the time. All in all, the rooms are overpriced for what you get.
