Warm, comfortable and good food. Needs a fresh-up.
Our stay was overall very comfortable and extremely enjoyable due to the friendly and helpful Simon and staff. The only minor downside was that the carpet in our room hadn't been vacuumed and the shower head was broken. These things could have been addressed prior to our arrival if proper checks had been made.

We had a nice stay at the Square & Compass. The staff were friendly and the main pub area was great and is clearly a nice local place for people to meet. The room itself was a good size for the length of stay. If I am being very critical a few areas of maintenance are needed but otherwise would recommend

Unclean
Place was run down and dirty. We stayed in 2 rooms as first one the key got stuck for electric. The first room was dirty, looked liked it hadn’t been cleaned or hoovered. Toilet wouldn’t flush. The second room we had to take our bedding from the first one into there and there was bugs in there and same as the first it was dirty toilet didn’t flush, looked like it hadn’t been hoovered again and the water was dark brown. Writing on the wallpaper too. Cracks in walls and ceiling and wallpaper was all ripped. Friendly staff but we won’t be staying again.

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Old, traditional decor, comfy bed.
Friendly staff. Easy to park. Good location for driving around the beautiful area. Our compact room was at the front of the Inn, and it's on a busy road, so we kept the secondary glazing closed. Shower head needed maintenance, so we informed the staff...I assume it will have been sorted now! Good full English Breakfast included in the very reasonable price.
