Great hotel name in an interesting town, being dominated by the National Trust property in walking distance. Upmarket prices for food, but room rate very competative.

fresh clean rooms, and comfortable beds. Lovely big bar with a huge real fireplace, very inviting. Good pub grub. Excellent breakfast, quality of fare, far better than expected. This will be my first choice to stay when I'm in that area again.

We had the twin room with the bathroom across the corridor. Due to this dressing gowns were provided which were large and cosy. Very large room with space for 2 chairs and coffee table. Breakfast for £5 was amazing! Good ale.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Staff & service

New management, new standards.

Breakfast comes in a box, there's not even fresh coffee available. You simply have to rearrange the furniture just to eat it sitting down. No member of staff stays over night so if you're late or need something you are well and truly stuck. No phone reception on Tesco mobile., very dodgy WiFi, no parking and bizarrely ABSOLUTELY NO CONTACT NUMBER. Would be fine as a hen or stag venue but for little else. Literally a youth hostel would be more welcoming.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Bad service, very rude

A terrible experience. I had no option but to rearrange my stay due to the Queens funeral. I phoned to try to come to an amicable/ shared arrangement on payment and a rebooking. The wife of the owner was rude and patronising and refused to make any concession at all insisting on charging me full prices despite the circumstances. I am all for supporting local and small businesses but for some reason this owner is too arrogant to think they need to rely on repeat business or I wouldn’t have been spoken to in the way I was. I wish them every success but I will never stay here again.

Lovely stay

Good for one night stay. I was concerned that being above the pub might be noisy on a Friday night, but it was not. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. A little inconvenient having the bathroom across the hall, but for a one night stay it wasn't bad. The owners graciously accommodated my slightly earlier breakfast. During the day I parked in the lot across the road, but when I came back in the evening I ended up parking down the road outside the post office.
