the staff were super friendly n welcoming, we loved the classic charm of the 16th century pub, the local ale was great n really enjoyed the yummy food! our room was amazing, spacious with a comfy bed n a nice shower. also, the whole vibe was really relaxing after a long day.
the only issue was the curtains were rotting so we couldn’t really block out the light at night. also, service during breakfast was a bit slow.

We loved our stay—such a gorgeous place! The staff were super friendly and accommodating. The food was top-notch, and we enjoyed a wonderful dinner with a great wine selection. The location was very peaceful, perfect for our family getaway with our newborn baby.
In my wife’s opinion, a changing station would be great.

Had a great time with friends in a lovely countryside spot. Our spacious room was perfect, and breakfast was delicious. The staff really made our stay enjoyable! Don't miss the nearby Froyle Park for events and the fantastic dining at the local pub. Definitely worth the trip.
One downside was the hot weather, making the room uncomfortably warm. The shower was tricky to use. It could be an issue for some guests.

I had a lovely stay with a fantastic breakfast, including a warm croissant to go and a bowl of homemade porridge that hit the spot. The garden area was perfect for a morning coffee, and the sun terrace offered cozy lounging spots. My only small issue was that the room was a bit too warm, but I still had a great time! 😊

The suite with garden view offered a spacious layout with fantastic windows that provided beautiful views of the pub garden and open fields. Breakfast was a delicious highlight, featuring a wide range of options that were individually cooked. Unfortunately, the service during lunch was disappointing, with uneaten meals returned incorrectly and a lack of acknowledgment from management regarding our concerns.

Super cozy stay
We had a lovely time here! The staff was super friendly and made us feel right at home. We enjoyed some delicious food and had fun chatting with the welcoming team. The outdoor area is really nice for hanging out. Just a bummer that breakfast took a while since there was only one person serving. But still, great vibes!

The room I stayed in was really spacious and had great windows overlooking the garden and fields. The bed was super comfy, perfect for relaxing. The decor matched the pub's historic vibe, which I loved. The shower had amazing pressure and plenty of hot water. Just a heads up, the TV's a bit small for the distance it’s mounted, and maybe two armchairs instead of one would be nicer for chilling out. really nice ambiance in the room and the entire place felt cozy.
