Our stay here was brief but I was happy to see that they were willing to serve dinner not long before closing. (There aren’t a lot of dining choices nearby.) It is an older property but everything functioned and was clean. Boot tray in the closet for wet boots was a good feature, although we lucked out with the weather. We also appreciated the bottled water. We enjoyed the cook-to-order breakfast and overall friendliness of the property. The view of the bridge and stream was outstanding.

Nice place to stay. Coffee shop not far away and walkable - very nice. Need a car as narrow lanes to get to and no footpaths. Service at breakfast on the 1st morning was slow but that was due to the young girl serving. Not there when we arrived and waited 10 minutes before she appeared. Left dirty dishes on tables when she could have easily removed when bringing other dishes etc...She was friendly enough. 2nd morning, totally different service. Lady on duty was attentive and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble. Food is good, book a table as it is busy. Rooms were clean and spacious but feel they missed a trick with our room. Small corridor to the bathroom but no hooks to put coats on etc.. Would definitely stay again...

The pub is a lovely building in s good location. Unfortunately it was woefully understaffed. We had to wait for half an hour at reception to book in. My wife was told at the bar someone would be with us in 2 minutes. This was after waiting 20 mins. Ten minutes later, nothing. I told the bar man we would be leaving in 2 minutes and would want a refund. Someone appeared, no apology. We then had to queue 15 minutes to order food and drinks, so we doubled up on the drinks. It took an hour for the food to come. My wife enjoyed hers, mine was poor. The table next to us left 2 full cheesecakes because they were still frozen, i hope they didn't pay. Room was very small but clean. Breakfast was excellent. Stay was spoiled by understaffing, not the staffs fault, but the management not willing to pay for staff, which led to poor customer experience and dissapointment. Could have been a great experience, but wasn't.
