Acceptable stay at this hotel
courtyard doors helpful staff excellent food road noise stuffy room slow service
The room had doors opening onto the courtyard. The staff were helpful. I found dinner and breakfast to be excellent.
I stayed two nights. The room faced the main road and cars drove by continuously. The room had only one window and felt stuffy and dark.

friendly staff private patio delicious breakfast poor food awful madeleines burnt granola
The staff were friendly and SOOOO helpful. The room had its own private patio area. Breakfast was delicious and the staff fulfilled all our requests with a smile.
The food was poor. We both ordered fish and chips. The honey madeleines tasted awful. The granola was burnt, and the poached eggs were overdone. A new chef is needed!!!

countryside retreat success!!!
fluffy towels bramley toiletries comfy bed
the big fluffy towels really stood out to me! bramley toiletries were also a plus. the large bed was amazingly comfy and ensured great sleep. lots of parking made arrival easy.
The absence of air conditioning made the room too warm. I did have a fan, but it was loud and basic.

excellent pub stay
warm greeting thoughtful flask relaxed atmosphere
this pub offered an amazing experience from start to finish. the staff greeted us warmly and promptly showed us to our rooms, i found the rooms beautifully decorated and very well furnished. we received a thoughtful flask of fresh milk to enhance our in-room drinks, a nice touch. we visited the bar, where i enjoyed the fabulous cocktails and the warm, relaxed atmosphere.
I noticed the steps and rails leading to our upgraded room was quite worn. cobwebs and spiders accumulated there, and the area needed sanding, varnishing, and dusting. beer barrels sat at the bottom of the stairs, detracting from the overall appearance. It would benefit from some tlc with plant pots.

Decent Stay with Some Issues
untidy steps limited breakfast
The steps leading to my upgraded room needed attention. They were full of cobwebs and spiders. Beer barrels were also at the bottom of the stairs, which looked untidy. There were no baked goods or a selection of cheeses and fruits at breakfast. It was disappointing. Only a cooked breakfast was offered, not a self-service option.
