Really good Stay, A Detailed Review
local producedog friendlystraightforward check-in
The breakfast offered excellent local produce. It was expertly cooked and beautifully presented. The pub welcomed dogs, a crucial requirement as I traveled with my two companions. Check-in was straightforward, and the food and drinks at the pub were great. I will definitely return when I'm in the area again.
The bed, while large, felt a bit too firm for my preference.
Rooms
9/10
The room felt very spacious and included all needed facilities. The bathroom supplied flannels and toiletries, a lovely touch. The beds provided very comfortable sleep with quality bedding and good pillows.
Location
8/10
The location offers great access to the Sandlings walk and Snape Maltings. It ensures that guests can explore local attractions with ease. The pub closes when the last patron leaves. The area then falls quiet.
Facilities
9/10
The pub showcases a traditional 15th-century aesthetic, free from music or fruit machines. Its decor remains sympathetic to the building's history, particularly the nice fireplaces. The staff are friendly and helpful.
Dining
10/10
Breakfast was delicious with a selection of cereals and hot choices. I ate dinner over two nights with differently sized groups. The food was AMAZING!!! All the staff were friendly and helpful, and nothing seemed too much.

clean roomburnt coffeefull bin
The room was spacious and clean when i arrived. That much was acceptable.
The breakfast was not great. The coffee tasted burnt, and it was the worst i have ever had. also, the bin in the bedroom was full of someone else's rubbish when i arrived. It was disgusting. breakfast started way too late, and checkout was far too early.

The room was quite spacious and also clean. The staff was very cute. Breakfast included a good selection of food options. The location allowed for easy access to local attractions.
The mattress on the bed felt too firm for my liking. the tv turned on by itself during the night. i noticed some noise coming from what sounded like kitchen equipment late at night..
