Loved the quirkiness of the property. Loads of character with a very warm and tranquil vibe to it. It's In a beautiful area that felt super peaceful. Room 3 was a lovely room, really warm and cosy. The bed was super comfortable.

It’s a simple place, with great wifi
The rooms are ok, a little on the tired side. Breakfast is self service, but it’s good with plenty of options. It’s a unique location and lovely surroundings. More personality than most hotels. The big win is the price, for the location and surrounding it’s very good.

Disappointing after reading previous reviews
I am sure this is a great place to stay reading reviews, however I arrived on a Monday was expecting to eat in the pub wandered over at 6 and everything was shut up. I found out from the website it shuts at 7. Would have been good to have been advised on checkin. Breakfast included but is help yourself good but I was expecting to be able to have a cooked breakfast before a long days work. I met several guests who all made similar comments during my stay. Having viewed the facebook and other feed back it must have just been a hick up but sorry I would not stay again.
Stayed for one night for Business. Checked in in the evening. I had a meal, only a burger but cooked to perfection, with a choice of sides & toppings. Staff are friendly nothing was a hassle. Even gave me a breakfast to take away as I was leaving before normal operating hours for breakfast. Room would be plenty big enough for 2, cosy too. Shower hot and good pressure. What else. Hold you ask for.

Quirky, Strange enjoyable one night stay.
Quirky, old, must be a listed building. We opted for English breakfast, freshly cooked, very good quality. Parking is limited, parking available on street outside, unlit! Inexpensive pub drinks and also mini secret zoo. Very good soft towels and bathrobe supplied.

Third stay. See my original review in June. Planning my next stay in September. Obviously, I like it and will return again and again. Not perfect but more friendly and obliging than most. Very comfortable and good food.

Quaint old world pub in quiet country location. Fun room and very friendly staff
A lovely location and quaint inn. Rooms a little tired, shower a bit tricky. Only cleaned when we asked. Breakfast described as free but on the Friday totally self service with croissants in Tupperware Weekend breakfast was excellent with good choice and cooked to order. Evening meal was disappointing Pub garden was pleasant place to sit and there were meerkats and tortoises to entertain us.
Beautiful, wonky, 15th Century building aesthetically oozing historical charm: latticed windows, cool stone brick built rooms and original beams. Lovely Iarge beer garden (with a secret zoo and bbq's every weekend in good weather) incorporated with pub food served in and outside. Staff fabulous and very helpful. Charming. Utterly unique. Will stay again ...and again recurring.
A wonderful little b&b in a beautiful location. We only used the venue as somewhere to sleep but would love to visit again and use the pub/restaurant facilities.
Pros - Property is located in a beautiful area in a little village. Room and bathroom was very clean and tidy with plenty of extras within the room.
Cons- Bearing in mind it was -5 during the night. The duvet wasn’t thick enough so I woke up really cold at 4am and I ended up getting dressed and also trying to sleep in my coat to keep warm. There was an electric oil radiator provided but it wasn’t enough to keep the room warm as it’s a 14th century building. This won’t be an issue in the summer or if a thicker duvet can be provided.
The water was luke warm but not hot enough for a shower especially as the room was cold. Again, not an issue in the summer months.
Breakfast, I had allocated 30/40 min because I had work. I notified the day before a 7am breakfast time. When I came down at 7am, the owner was only switching the lights on. 30/40 minutes wasn’t enough time to wait for the owner to get set up in the kitchen and then start cooking a cooked breakfast from scratch. So I ended up having toast. When I received my toast the host then left to get the kids ready for the school run. Don’t expect a top up of tea if you wanted it.
Overall- £127 for one night is far too expensive for the experience that I received. Not being able to have a shower and having to leave without a hot breakfast was quiet frustrating.
Very nice old village pub. rooms are large and comfortable. pub food and breakfast were very well cooked and quite large portions too. Good selection of beers.
would definitely stay here again. What more can I say 5 stars.
A very quirky ancient pub in a lovely quiet location. Food was excellent, both in the pub garden in the evening and at breakfast. Service was sometimes a bit off-hand. Room was starting to look a little worn and disappointingly had not been properly cleaned after the previous guests. The beer garden could do with a good tidy up. The sound of the diamond doves in the little aviary is delightful! Overall an enjoyable stay.
Wonderfully friendly staff, in this old world pub.The bar was inviting and fun. The food was varied and good offering a variety of salads and vegetables

lovley typical pub room great friendly staff with really good pub food , we enjoyed our stay room was fairly clean , we found stuff on the floor and in the draw . didnt spoil our stay however in view of recent pandemic cleanliness needs to improve. nice pub will return soon.
Set in a beautiful little village with loads of history, the pub great with soo many original features. We stayed in room on the grounds and it was amazing, brilliant for the night.
