One we will definitely go back to as soon as poss.

We were made most welcome. The food was very good . Our room very comfortable and clean bathroom. The bedding , towels and housekeeping was too high standard. ( the hotels.com site said NO housekeeping towels or sheets I can’t understand why. ) Don’t let that mistake put you off . Superb value for money. We will definitely go again soon.

We were in twin room room 6 at the front of the property, it overlooked the main road but we found it very quiet. Very friendly staff. Comfy bed. Lovely steak pie, mashed potatoes and veg in the evening followed by trifle (these are never on menus!) Great breakfast the next morning, nice filter coffee and yoghurts. Will come again.

Liked: Staff & service
Parking at the side of the pub in the bis station is a big plus but for us thats really where it ends, the bedroom was spacious being above am old pub but the mattress has seen better days and dipped badly in the middle, but the main problem was that there was what i can only describe as drum and bass music bouncing from a residence next door that wemt on till 2am! We were in room 12. I know that is not directly the pubs problem but if its spoiling what should be a peaceful nights sleep in a country pub then dont use that room!! We had to be up at 6am to go scuba diving in seahouses so not fun on 4 hours sleep, im sure it mist be heard in other rooms too so take heed, totally spoilt our peaceful night away.

Good one night stay.

Nice pub with standard rooms. In nice location, central and easy to find. Easy and friendly check in, nice cooked breakfast too. Beds comfy. Shower was a little small. Whilst they didn't have anywhere to store bicycles indoors overnight, we were able to lock them under shelter in the tucked away Car Park at the back. Overall ideal for our one night stay.

Right in the centre; a proper local pub. Don't expect top class luxury but for the price, it's great value. Clean comfort room and bathroom, good evening menu and a perfect breakfast. Very friendly staff. I'd definitely stay again.

Amazing stay, would give 5🌟

We had clear instructions round on how to find the parking. Very accommodating with the dog, even asked if we would need letting out in the night to take the dog out! Food in the bar was amazing & the portion size was very generous & a great price! Bed was the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in away from home & the bed was huge! Would definitely recommend this hotel to stay in & to grab food locally!
