Average Stay With a Few Issues
I was quite disappointed as I had planned to have dinner there. This was not communicated beforehand, and I only found out when I sat down to order. The lack of information made planning meals more difficult.

charming stay
helpful staff delicious lunch local beer easy parking
The staff were lovely and chatty, very helpful with local tips. I really felt welcomed. the sunday lunch was delicious, and i enjoyed trying the local beer they had on tap. the location was ideal for exploring, and i found parking easily in their patron car park.
the garden view from my room meant it was a little noisy in the evening, though it quieted down eventually.

The beautiful double room had a nice modern shower. I especially liked the multi-counted mirror light! the bed was comfortable, it ensured a good night's sleep after a day of exploring.

The hotel is about half a mile from the railway station. Bus stops are also very close, just 50 yards away. this proximity allowed for easy access to the town without too much walking!

traditional pub clean rooms comfortable bed breakfast issue kitchen refresh dinner menu
the pub has a lovely traditional feel. the carvery was great! i also liked that the rooms were very clean. the bed was so comfortable.
i booked a room including breakfast, but found out the kitchen was being refreshed and i couldn't have breakfast. i booked only a week before, so they must have known then. there were even dinner menus in the bedroom, but there was no food available.

Underwhelming Stay
I must say, the lack of communication was something else. I booked a room and breakfast, mainly cause I am lazy. The dinner menus in the bedroom seemed like a bad joke. They should really communicate these changes better to prevent hungry guests.
