Stayed here on business for 2 nights midweek, rooms are adequate, quite basic but very clean. Accommodation is motel style with a small number of rooms located at the top end of the Inn's car park, The inn is in a very quiet residential area away from busy traffic with parking right outside your door. Had both breakfast and evening meal, which In the case of the latter, is probably one of the best meals I have had out in ages - freshly cooked to order, not microwaved/reheated as in so many establishments. Given the price, I would definitely stay there again when next in the area on business.

The service of the lady host and two young male waiters could not have been better in a 5* hotel. The food was, (Sunday lunch Menu) OK, but probably a little over the top with ingredients. One of our party opted for the pork crackling starter, it came presented with prawns on it! and there was no crackling, just squares of belly pork - bit disapointing. Someone else had the mushrooms, expecting garlic, cream etc - but then it came drizzled with balsamic - no need for the extras.....just do a meal well and let it speak for itself. Aside from this the main courses, which we all opted for various roasts could not be faulted.

The one thing that would stop me returning would be the decor and ambience in the restaurant itself - it was such a disapointment. The little conservatory area looks as though its set up as a wedding venue (in fact we heard someone go into there and ask if it was reserved for a wedding!), its far too 'twee', the same with the restaurant area. Get rid of the carpet and the twee curtains and replace the old fashioned chairs and the place would look 100% better. I personally would rather have eaten in the cosy, rustic bar than in the restaurant.

An absolutely cracking find for me - I don't think I've ever been made to feel more welcome on arrival, or indeed during the entirety of my stay, anywhere else I've been. Even the locals are welcoming and chatty - even to a bloke walking into their local pub wearing a suit and tie.

The food here is absolutely excellent, and great value - it's really worth taking a bit of time over dinner and having three courses, because the starters were fantastic. Some great beers on tap as well.

The pub is in a lovely location - I went for a run and the countryside surrounding the village is beautiful.

The rooms are pretty basic - but clean, comfortable and again, great value, and the breakfasts (as with the rest of the food here) are also superb.

But the thing that makes this place really stand out is the service and the welcome - I will definitely stay here again, and will look forward to it.

Stayed here for 3 nights. Very welcoming, friendly pub with rooms away from the hub. Food excellent, rooms clean and comfortable. Very happy to have stayed here and will be going back soon.
