The downstairs was very nice and clean and comfortable. The bedroom was small and a bit shabby the maid service not very thorough. The meals were very good, apart from Monday breakfast with no sausage or hash brown.

Nice for 1 night
Small village which was lively for when we stayed. No lifts so dragging your luggage up and down stairs for one night is painful. Bed comfortable but tiny room. Are in restaurant for dinner but was very average. Breakfast was included and was a lot better. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Overall a nice place to stop for one night. Parking a bit far away but corner stores and other pubs close by.

Wonderful staff who were friendly and helpful. The village is lovely. But the room was in a poor state of repair and needs renovation. Not the cleanest room I’ve ever stayed in and the shower traps were blocked and had to be emptied to avoid the shower flooding. But we still enjoyed our stay.

Inconvenience….
Advised in advance needed hypoallergenic bedding. Got to room all feather. No apology from the man checking me in offered a blanket at one point in the end asked another guest to change rooms with me! Room I got changed into the door didn’t close properly and mattress dipped on the middle also very noisy from the street. Had to ask for an iron 3 times felt like I was an inconvenience. Evening meal was ok! Didn’t bother with breakfast. Not worth the money would not stay again.

Lovely country pub
Nice cosy pub and rooms. I had breakfast which was good (poached eggs were very good) but didn’t eat dinner. I have stayed before and evening food is also good. I had some work to do and struggled with wifi signal but it’s a nice place to stay

Very good standard of room and bathroom facilities and cleanliness.
Friendly reception.
Cooked breakfast was good, but disappointed by no muesli or yoghourt and let down by no ground coffee without an extra payment!
PLEASE OFFER "PROPER" COFFEE AS STANDARD

Nice, pleasant relaxed evening.
We enjoyed our breakfast the next morning too.

Brew pod is a small village which had nice Christmas lights and atmosphere.
Rooms were of a good size and clean
Staff were polite and courteous.
