Went for lunch today with girlfriends for xmas meet up. Lovely carvery, great service. Had a fire alarm so had to evacuate but the manager Samantha and staff were excellent and we not outside for long.
My Husband and I still laugh about the name. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the room was basic but nice, good facilities, the room had air-conditioning. My biggest issue, was the bed. I have Spinal problems, hip and knee issues, the mattress was non-existent, I had a dreadful sleep. The next morning I couldn't straighten up or walk properly.
We stayed for 2 nights and couldn't fault anything. Room was comfortable and had everything we needed. Great value B&B deal and treated ourselves to evening meals too. All food was great.
We enjoyed our two night stay. The bedroom was clean and warm (at a very cold time of year), food and drink was adequate and appropriate. We felt we had good value for money. Checking-in lacked a feeling of welcome but serving staff were cheerful and friendly.
Wasn’t sure what to expect - last minute booking out of necessity not choice. Check in was swift, room was a good size for a family of four and nicely set out. Breakfast was great - seated right away, food cooked to order. Great value overnight stay en router to London.
fab place to stay. the staff were very friendly and helpful. rooms were clean and beds comfy and there is a very good selection for brekkie. would defo stay again.
Popped in for a drink on the way to sizzling g wok for a family birthday. We were greeted by Zak who made us very welcome and had a chat about the pub itself. The pub was spotless, good choice of food or carvery. We will definitely return for food, highly recommend.
Rooms are good, spacious and comfortable. Nice heavy doors and decent soundproofing so it was quiet on a Saturday night, but the Aircon/heating unit is very noisy so had to switch it off to sleep, and the toilet roll is poor quality. Room was acceptably clean. Plentiful parking. Unfortunately the carvery was a disappointment. The turkey was actually very good, succulent and tasty, but the rest of it was completely tasteless with watery gravy and overcooked vegetables. Very badly overcooked, and dry roast potatoes. I haven't seen sprouts that colour since my grandmother died!
