The KJI is a great little bolthole. The rooms are small but well formed and appropriately designed for a country pub in an area flush with weekend homes. Ours had a wet room – presumably to make most use out of the space – which I’m not sure quite worked, but that’s hardly the end of the world. Good beds,... More

Me and my other half stayed here for the weekend, with our dog, and we loved it. The whole place appears to have been recently updated and decorated, in a very sympathetic way. The bedroom was clean and well appointed, as was the bathroom. In the bar there's bags of atmosphere, and with the open fire, lovely and warm. The... More

This pub is great - the best in the area. Stay if you can - in the main house, the rooms are beautiful. The downstairs areas are very, very welld one, stylish and upmarket, but not over the top. The locals are fun and friendly and the wine list and menu are both wonderful. Staff are attentive and friendly and... More

An overnight stay at The King John Inn was not enough to fully appreciate it's charm - but it was enough to show the wonderful attention to detail in this gorgeous pub. The staff were friendly, professional and attentive, without being intrusive, the food was impeccable and the rooms comfortable and of a reasonable size. I was part of a... More

You get tired of hearing rave reviews on Trip Advisor and you begin to question their authenticity. But The King John Inn deserves every ounce of praise I am going to give it...and then some. Friendly owner and staff (without being obsequious). Superb, restrained elegant, English country decor. Tea, Nespresso, Pants press. (oops trousers, sorry) biscuits for said drinks, nice... More

I felt motivated to write my first ever review on TA having just had an excellent weekend at the King John Inn and seeing the mixed reviews. In summary, we arrived on Friday to a warm and friendly welcome, our room (8) was lovely, well furnished and full of character (although we did have to watch our heads!) and the... More

We have been trying to have supper at the King John for the last couple of months but they have always been full. We finally had supper there late night and it was more than worth the wait. Best lamb dish I have eaten. This place deserves to be so busy. Also best loo's is a pub award. More

Warm and friendly welcome from the Proprietors, Alex and Gretchen. The pub itself is fantastic, full of rustic charm and original prints of country sports. The food, although on the expensive side was delicious, and well worth the money. Roasted tomato soup (sublime), Brill and leek risotto (also sublime), as was the Bouillabaisse and Moules Marinieres. Excellent and well thought... More

We booked a room at the King John after hearing good things and were not disappointed. The service was friendly and efficient and the room was clean and beautifully decorated. We dined in the busy restaurant below and the relaxed atmosphere provided a great setting for our romantic meal. Both our fillet steak and sea bass main courses were as... More
