We booked on their website expecting to find the comfortable and friendly accommodation the site promised. They confirmed our booking by email but said nothing about a live band playing a few metres from our room until 11pm nor that a noisy group of people would then shout even closer to us until 11.45pm. Having asked if we would be dining we entered a totally empty restaurant to be served one of the worst meals we have ever tried to eat. The whole experience was a nightmare only slightly relieved by the sincere embarrassment and apologies from the guy to whom we complained. (Not the owner). The room was clean but cold and did not warm up when we asked the owner why the radiator couldn’t be adjusted up as it was stone cold.

Sunday roast was fantastic, and big portions.

Lovely pub, lovely food, excellent staff but I don't expect on a Sunday afternoon to have a child screaming for an hour. I would have taken my child out which I did when she went off on one. Do NOT call us dinosaurs!

I've been to this pub a few times, very freindly and welcoming pub, dog friendly and a great kids menu.There are a few retired regulars who seem to think it's 'their' pub, and couldn't tolerate my young kids being loud and enjoying themselves for a couple of minutes.I'm not sure what they expect when they go to a pub on a Sunday afternoon, that has a kids menu.....Maybe they should stick to Monday-Friday if they have so much trouble hearing kids enjoy themselves.Nothing against the pub at all, just the impatient, dinosaur regulars.

Had a business meeting here today and I have to say it was a fantastic experience. From making our booking to the warm welcome to the food and drinks, everything was perfect.Staff were extremely attentive and friendly and the food was delicious.Highly recommend this pub. Thank you. Will definitely be returning.Tyler.

Thought we would give this pub another try as I believe it has new owners . Bar staff lovely and friendly but food very disappointing. Went for my birthday , very limited menu when I asked why I was told because its January and they are quite. Didn't have the pie or the salmon so ended up having the chicken curry which was very disappointing. The rice was like a sponge and the curry was very dry . As I said staff lovely but would not go back for food , very disappointing

I hadn’t been in this pub for about 15 years but when I heard it had been refurbished & taken over I thought I should give it ago. Since then I have been in weekly to eat & drink, the food & the service has been great. I would highly recommend the beef burger & chicken burger.

Stayed here in June before a wedding I was attending locally. Room was lovely and clean. The barmaid welcomed us in and gave us the keys etc, the owner was on hand to provide a fan and iron. We left early so didn't eat breakfast but I would stay here again. Great value for money and did I mention that the room was super clean!
Bartender is top. Nice down to earth locals.Good times.

This is a stunning local village pub run by Steve and Karen. Spotlessly clean, very well appointed with comfortable, a spacious room. Delicious great value food available in the restaurant and bar. Breakfast was amazing. Cereals, three types of bread available to make toast in their very posh electronic toaster. Wonderful coffee machine (I had two lattes with brekkie - such a treat!) Fruit juice, yogurts and pastries Freshly cooked full English or any variation on it. Very comfortable bed and pillows, nice view over the pub garden. Didn’t hear a sound all night! We will definitely be coming back again.

An excellent stay. We booked two rooms, both were clean and well cared for. Lovely soft pillows and bed linen. The staff were polite, helpful and very pleasant. We had an evening meal in the bar, which was excellent, and breakfast in the restaurant, which was freshly cooked. Excellent value for money and all round a very nice experience. We will definitely book in again next time we are working in the area.

Visited a few of friends who were staying here before a wedding the next day at The Ravenswood. The garden could've done with a few more tables and chairs. Food was very nice and the "fully loaded" 12" pizza was excellent.

The inside of the pub has a bit of an identity crisis- has the potential to be a great traditional rustic pub but they've half-attempted a modern and trendy feel. Only one ale on draught when I went in (Fursty Ferret)
