8/10 Very good

I would stay again, but just a couple suggestions.
The owner was very welcoming, as were the team working when we arrived. Unfortunately, the window ledge in the pub was pretty dirty, which was off-putting for a place serving food. Once in the room it was clean, but a few things were missing that would have made the stay better: Shower curtain or glass divide to keep the shower from getting the bathroom wet, a light above the mirror in the bathroom, and finally - it was unseasonably cold this June, but it would have been nice if there was some heat in the room or a way to control it. It is good value for the price, and would stay again, but just a few Alex Polizzi improvements would make it so much better.

Loud music, cold and cobwebs
I checked in on a Monday and the pub was full of people and the lights off when it says the pub is usually closed. I went to the room which was okay, I heard them turn the heating off so had an electric heater luckily but wasn’t the best. Seemed to be an event on and music was playing very loud until 12:30pm so not much sleep

Typical rural pub and restaurant and quite nice. Disappointed to discover they dont do breakfast so we only used the accommodation. Room is modern and provided the necessary things, though cleanliness was below average, large cobwebs above the bed and high level dust was scattered about when the heating eventually came on. Room was cold to begin with. Bed was comfortable though could feel the lump in the middle of joining 2 beds together. It was nice though, not likely to return.

Lovely, but it's a shame the service let it down
Lovely room, lovely pub, food good, however service is the slowest I've ever experienced. I sat down for dinner at 6.15pm and gave up waiting for someone to ask what I wanted for desert at 8.45pm. When you are a solo traveller it's a drag to sit there on your own for so long looking like a lemon. I left cash on the table and went to bed. The only other gripe I would have is that breakfast starts at 9.30am. That all said I'm sure the service was a one off, I'd stay there again and give them the benefit of the doubt.
Funky loo roll holder!

hotel closed in february. should not be on expedia
hotel closed in february should not have been on expedia - panic to find further accommodation for my elderly father and family. New owners not due to open until September were unaware you had this hotel on your system. Absolute mayhem as my father and family were attending my daughters wedding and had nowhere locally to stay. Where is the apology from Expedia - I will never use this system again - be warned the place you book may not exist anymore and like us will cost you dearly to rectify.

Great Location
The room was very clean and everything was OK except that the wall street are very thin and we could hear people either side of us talking and snoring kept my husband awake the 2 nights we were there. Great location and friendly staff.

Nice little place !!!!
Staff were fabulous friendly and pleasant couldn't ask for better hosts nothing was too much trouble ...would not hesitate to stay here again ..rooms are not massive but more than adequate for a few nights stay ..breakfast was ordered the night before and served at our requested time and tasted delicious ...all in all could not fault this place ...and to top it off when we first arrived was sat outside chatting to few of the locals .. and it was none other than pippa Middleton and her hubby and parents . Who by the way were very pleasant and happy to chit chat to us . Location of this hotel is nice too nice country area and can get about to other places thanks to the hosts for making us so welcome x

Visiting the wolves
I was staying overnight to make sure I got to the wolf sanctuary on time in the morning for a day of photgrahing these amazing creatures. I thought the price should have included the tepid breakfast which had obviuosly been cooked ahead of time. Bacon still had the rind on which was irritating for me as I was out of practice and didn't realise and had to remove it from my mouth - embarassing! Bed squeeked and made cracking noises all night which was annoying and kept waking me up. walls are extremley thin and you could hear the conversation next door. Room was way to hot for me. Remote control didn't work very well and I had to turn over using the buttons on the side. Bathroom needed some TLC with paint peeling off the wall after an obvious water leak. shower needed repairing as sharp plastic along the bottom - gave it a miss. All in all I wouldn't rebook but its not the worst I have stayed in.

A pleasant room, but I need to point out that the shower needs changing. It was pretty much a trickle coming out of the shower head and there was no shower curtain/shield so the bathroom floor got very wet.

Friendly staff. Lovely old country village pub. Nice room with good shower but paper thin walls! Food was delicious. No one around to check me out and get a receipt.

Lovely area - just a shame about the experience
These rooms need a lot of tlc. The shower had not been cleaned properly, the shower did not work properly and cut in and out. I had to ask for another large towel and milk when we got there. The breakfasts are over priced at £12 for a full English and £5.00 for two fried eggs on one bit of toast. When we tried to book out at 8.15 on Sunday morning no body except the cleaner who did not speak English was available. So sorry not a very good experience!

Ant infested and filthy
The dirtiest room we've ever had to stay in! Only booked because we couldn't find anywhere else which had availability at short notice. Ants in the bathroom. Filthy, worn carpet. Very uncomfortable beds. Food was overpriced and poor quality. Nothing to recommend other than being set in a lovely village.

Lovely place and room. The only thing was when I walked into the pub the whole place went silent and everyone stared at me, which was weird. I guess it's a local pub for local people.

Could have been wonderful.
On arrival, was issued my key - only to find my room had not been cleaned (this was 8pm). Returned to bar - was offered a drink whilst they cleaned in the room in the promise of 20mins. However, the beer was off. 45mins later get the key thrust at me in the bar with no words from the staff. Wake up at 7am to discover no hot water - and no sign of anyone at the bar. Had to leave cold at 7:45. A lovely pub, lovely setting. Disaster of a visit.
