We didn't stay here but has a Sunday roast, one of which was vegetarian with a mushroom pie. Landlady was very friendly and helpful and gave our dog some water. Dogs welcome. Food was amazing

We were asked to book a breakfast time slot on arrival, so we selected 8:30–9:00. However, when we went down that morning, all the doors were locked and there was no staff present. We tried every contact number provided, including the delivery and service numbers advertised, but received no answer or callback.
This was extremely disappointing, particularly as we needed to leave promptly. In the end, we had no choice but to leave at 9:30 without breakfast and return the keys through the letterbox.
We were also concerned to see ducks being kept in what appeared to be a pop-up laundry basket in the car park. It was overcrowded, and the animals could barely move. This raised serious welfare concerns.
In addition, the upstairs corridors had a very unpleasant smell, and our room (Brook) felt run down. The bathroom floor and shower area were covered in small beard trimmings, which suggests it had not been cleaned properly.
Although the staff we briefly encountered at check-in were pleasant, the overall experience was poor. I also attempted to make contact later regarding the breakfast issue and checkout, but again received no response.
Based on this experience, I would not recommend staying here.

We hebben hier een avondmaal gegeten. Er waren veel items op de kaart niet te verkrijgen. Uiteindelijk konden we een wortelsoep een burger en een biefstuk rten. De soep was echt vies, erg ingedikt, het leek eerder pap dan soep.in het gedeelte waar wij zaten stond het personeel te kletsen op luide toon over persoonlijke zaken. Al met sl gaf het een heel onprofessionele indruk

We visited this pub Saturday 25 th April. It was a beautiful sunny day and we arrived 25 minutes before the end of food service.
They were very busy and the chef was under pressure and working with a bad back.
However the service was friendly. The lady behind the bar explained there would be a wait for food which we acknowledged,
They served us as soon as humanly possible. There was no stress no fuss just friendly service. The food when it arrived was beautifully cooked.
We were on holiday or would definitely have gone back.
