Overall a very disappointing stay and we feel very mislead by the website photos and reviews. The room was small, located on the ground floor in what was clearly once the men's toilets. The carpets, floor tiles (original from the men's toilet) and shower tray were all filthy. Shoes were needed to use the bathroom. Black mould was everywhere and the bathroom window opened onto the car park access road and had no blind so zero privacy. Shower tiles still had mould-remover residue on them so we had to clean it before we could use it. Door didn't open fully due to broken shower basket. Paintwork was stained and chipped. Whole place looked tired and dirty. Only saving grace was that the bed linen was clean. We would have walked out but arrived after a late flight and they had already taken payment. I am sure they have some nice rooms - just not the one they gave us which was the worst place we've stayed in years. One to avoid and a rip off at £100.

Fantastic little place in a nice village. Super friendly staff that make you feel extremely welcome and take the time to make conversation with you. Good food, nice clean rooms. Will definitely be returning when business brings me back to the area.

We had a one-night stay as a family of 4 (2 children and 2 adults) in the Wander’s Suite. We were also able to bring our small dog with us and he was treated like royalty throughout! We were warmly greeted upon arrival and shown to our room, a large spacious and airy room at the side of the hotel which was spotless – we could not fault it. We had a peaceful night’s sleep on the comfiest super king bed ever! The pub has the most beautiful setting right on the village green – we were able to sit out with a drink in the sun watching the kids kick a rugby ball about on the green. We were also lucky enough to experience a live singer in the garden which went down a storm. Breakfast was amazing – especially the avocado and salmon dish. We hope to return very soon. Thank you all.

but when I do, it’s because it was excellent. Absolutely lovely boarding house/pub in a small village. Tons of atmosphere and charm. The innkeep and his staff were very pleasant and helpful, and the breakfast was excellent and very open to customization. They even had a vegetarian version of the full English breakfast, which is something I don’t find very often. Will highly recommend for a family stopover or as a base for a few days while scouting the area.
