A classic country pub with new upmarket bedrooms that impressed. The breakfast in the bar was good although my brown toast was dry and burnt. For the money it is good value and the bedrooms are the best aspect.

A lovely find…

I was pleasantly surprised by how lovely my room was. Obviously a lot of thought had gone into the decor. I had a good nights sleep. The area was very quiet. The menu in the pub was good and varied. I had the most perfect lamb chop! I hope I might have a reason to return!

From the minute we arrived - early- the host was engaging, informative and welcoming. Our beautiful and well-appointed room was ready and we were able to check-in before 3pm. The location is perfect for a day at the races. The pub has delicious food.

We loved our two night stay here. The team there are welcoming and helpful. The food is well presented and tasty. The rooms are comfortable, clean and are set away from the main building, which makes them quiet from any restaurant hubbub. My only request would be to un-creak creaky floor boards as the sound travels to the bedroom below.

All very good indeed. Pleasant, stylish, comfortable room, spotlessly clean. Peaceful location. The bar was friendly, food excellent (as a vegetarian, the choice on the menu was limited, but what I did have was great). Breakfast was very good too. I only stayed one night and didn't have time to explore the surrounding area, but the Three Blackbirds is set in a quiet hamlet.
