    Breakfast area a bit random, very self service! Rooms could do with more hanging space and a case stand.

    Good access to A39. Nice and spacious rooms at the rear of the main building with parking. New owners so I expect things will improve even more.

    The breakfast room was a bit dated and tired but this did not detract from an overall pleasant stay.

    The accommodation is in fairly modern built units behind the pub. The bedroom and bathroom were large and clean. The bed was comfortable and the room was a pleasant temperature. Breakfast consisted of a small selection of cereals, juices, yogurt etc plus a good al a carte hot selection with toast. It was good value for money as this was included in the room rate. There is ample parking at the rear of the property.

    It was a shame they weren’t serving evening food however the owner happily provided recommendations of a few pubs in the area and we ended up having a lovely meal in a pub about 5 minutes down the road.

    Perfect location for a wedding we were attending. Large room and bathroom with plenty of parking.

    The mattress was like a board - honestly the only negative point about the whole stay sadly.

    The breakfast was plentiful - and included in the price - cereal, toast, juice and full English. The room was very spacious, very tasteful, and the bathroom was spotless.

    Weren't serving evening meals during our stay but not really an issue as travelled down the road to The Cottage.

    Room was excellent, very spacious especially as had two dogs with us. Rooms are located behind the pub which is great. Great breakfast each morning , highly recommend The Ancient Mariner.

    The breakfast room had to access through the fire door into the pub guests had to let other people in and wasn't easy to open. As a fire exit door in itself that needs sorting. Breakfast was in the pool table room. Dated. Pub being run by temporary manager who was trying to do all of it by himself, cooking and serving the first day was there, had help someone serving the 2nd day. Better. Did a great job considering and said hello chatted to guests, friendly quirky sense of humour! Full English. Well cooked but small. One small slice bacon, sausage not the best. Filter coffee. Tea on request. Another guest asked for scrambled eggs so could have different things if asked, wasn't a menu. I think if asked for anything extra would have been fine too, like more toast. A little disappointed for price I paid, especially as rate reduced the next day on the site to something more reasonable. Simple things like maybe table cloths, all white crockery, option of cafetier could update it, improve quality and impression. No evening meals served in the pub which I'd been expecting, think just while under temporary management?

    The room was spacious and clean, huge walk in shower room, quiet, clean, comfortable beds. Underfloor heating.. was a bit cool when I got there horrible windy cold rainy weather but room was very toasty after an eve there. Plenty of parking right next to accommodation. Nice middle planted area. Easy to get in and out. Heated towel radiator so could dry towel. Towels provided. Friendly host. Nice village to explore, is opposite National Trust Coleridge home, could get a good coffee there. No other cafe in village. I didn't go in pub but looked nice, cosy areas inside and could take dog in. The front side rooms had comfy seating, little lights looked more up to date, other parts more traditional which I think good something for everyone. Also nice outdoor seated garden area and covered bit at the back of pub which would have been lovely if hadn't been raining. I'd say as a base, and if wanted to go to pub or one of others in village great place to stay. Can't fault the accommodation also if climate conscious accommodation solar panels and heat pump source energy.
