I only get to stay here once a year which is a shame as it’s a lovely place to stay and the food offering is amazing! The rooms are more like small chalets in a separate building, nothing flash but have everything you need and excellent value for money. Highly recommended, looking forward to next stay.

We love this place, but we love it for a reason, the food is amazing, the staff go out of their way to make sure you have a great visit/stay and the rooms are a perfect place to crash after a few drinks. The pub also has a lovely warm atmosphere that is so welcoming and relaxing. For us it’s our perfect bolt hole to escape London.

2 night working trip solo. A lovely old pub with olde world charm. You really couldn't find a pub more quintessentially English. Rooms lovely and warm with spacious bathroom (Clover, block 4). Restaurant also very good but £11 for a glass of wine is pushing it a bit. Have the prawns starter and sausage and mash to get the best value out of it.
