I have had some uncomfortable stays in other places and I’m afraid this is up there with them. Just not a comfy bed. To hard that’s the only thing that really matters is a good nights sleep

Disliked: Amenities

There was no sound proofing in the rooms. Breakfast was extra and the toast was dry and dusty with scant butter and cheap over-sweetened jam. I had to cancel one night (within the time limit for a full refund) but was not sent the full amount, so the room plus extra for breakfast represents poor value.

Overall ok, but be aware they do not offer breakfast (even though they sell "half board". Room was nice, I had a great view of the open countryside. Very clean and everything worked as expected. They do need to get a new harder mattress though as it felt it was showing its age. Perfect for a holiday/pleasure booking, but the lack of a desk to work from was not great. Food in the attached pub was good quality and tasty, no issues here. Note the place is very dog friendly, so if like me, you are a bit cautious of dogs, it is something to bear in mine. My real issue is that they are selling a package called "half board" however they tell me they do not do breakfast!! So I paid for and expected it, and it never arrived.

No breakfast at all

Ok but no breakfast included. Some web sites still say free breakfast included the pubs information booklet says breakfast is available from 09.00 but when I called the bar the guy said that they would not be doing breakfast at all due to staff shortages but they may be doing them again in the summer! All very confusing but at the end of the day its now room only

Clean, modern, noisy, no red wine!

The room was clean and modern with a comfy double bed and small en-suite shower room. The walls are paper thin though. We could hear the person on the phone in the next room and the person he was talking to. We were phoned on the day of arrival to tell us that the pub would be closed for our stay due to Covid. Not a problem, we re-booked for 2 days later. Could have been more of an issue for people travelling further or arranging a bigger birthday dinner etc. The pub is clean and pleasantly decorated. The gluten free menu was limited though inc no desserts (ice cream is not a dessert according to my missus 😂). The bar also had no red wine in stock... None! Waiters a little inexperienced and did not understand the difference between gin and gin liqueurs when i was offered a different option due to a gin being out of stock. I thought the management or bar man could have apologised for all the unavailable options (alcohol and food.) Ribs and fries were great, chicken breast overcooked. Good portion sizes and ok value for money. All in all, another business hit hard by Covid, but not to have red wine in a restaurant is in my opinion laughable at best.
