Food in the restaurant for evening meal felt a little overpriced for what it was. They had a good non alcoholic menu but unfortunately didn’t have the main component/gin alternative for the cocktails in stock

Beautiful inn, really nicely renovated. Room was really cosy and nicely decorated but retained its character. Staff were really friendly and breakfast was great.

Shower wasn;t very powerfuland had to keep turning up the heat throughout, eventually it ran cold.

Breakfast and dinner were both very nice. Lots of options and good service. Room was a good size and very dog friendly.

Nothing really. Staff were very keen to please and attentive. I am always conscious of my granddaughter feeling "different" with her coeliac disease, as I know at 11 years old, she is very conscious of it. This is our 3rd stay at the Blue Ball Inn, and we mainly choose it because of their separate GF menu, which makes her feel included, rather that adapting a "normal" menu.

Breakfast was fair. Personally I would have liked fruit, yoghurt options. Granddaughter is Coeliac and her breakfast was limited - no GF cereal, fruit, yoghurt but they were keen to please and had GF bread/toast, and she could have had eggs but didn't want them Dinner was good. Good choices for GF, although no chicken dish on GF menu, which is unusual. However, with notice, the chef produced an excellent chicken dish for her on our second evening

No relaxation area just for guests other than sitting in the pub.

Exactly what we expected in terms of the room, cleanliness and breakfast. Great location for walking and exploring the area.

Best breakfast I’ve had in a long time

Stayed in September 2024

Unfortunately the boiler unexpectedly broke down for our third night and we were unable to use our shower due to a lack of hot water. Breakfast was provided as usual. Hopefully a new boiler will be installed this week.

Excellent, hearty breakfast.

The Wifi in the rooms didn't work well which meant the TV didn't either. It wasn't easy to change the temperature in the room as the windows were difficult to open and close owing to secondary double glazing which did keep it quite quiet. There wasn't much in the way of gluten free breakfast food.

Staff were very helpful and friendly. Bed was comfortable. Decor was clean and pleasant. Bathroom was spotless and well equipped.

Having arrived 20 minutes to check in we were told we had to wait. So we had a drink with family already there and at 3 o’clock we checked in. Minor point but it was frustrating because absolutely no different staff were needed, the room was clearly ready 20 minutes before because nobody came down so it was obvious it was just sticking to policy. After five hour journeys is difficult to plan arrival to the exact time. So in summary while we felt that although the staff were friendly it felt a little cold. Prices were a lot higher than previous stay making things not very good value for money. Nowhere to relax in comfrey chairs for residents.

It’s a lovely traditional inn with lots of character. Good tasty food.
