    Room a bit small but fine for a one night stay. Large shower though that was excellent.

    Lovely pub with good food at reasonable prices. Very clean and welcoming. Staff friendly and helpful.

    We were unable to get WiFi in the room, only on lower floors, and the TV picture kept breaking up, but it didn't cause too much of an issue. Parking is nearby, and were told there were 6 spaces reserved for pub, but we could only see 3, which were already taken, so had to park a short walk away.

    We were attending a family funeral, so the location was excellent for this. Room was clean and bed was comfortable with extra pillows available. There was also an extra radiator in the room for cold evenings. Bottle of water in the room along with tea, coffee etc. We had an evening meal downstairs, with other members of the family, which was excellent, tasty and plenty of food on the plates. The open fire was a bonus too!

    Our room was too small for a double. The double bed was inches away from the wall at one side and up to the door frame at the other, so no room for bedside tables. We have stayed once before and had a bigger room so must be luck of the draw.

    Staff/managers friendly and helpful. Breakfast freshly cooked. Good selection of real ales in bar. Clean and modern bathroom.

    I cannot praise the owner and staff enough for a wonderful weekend, we were made very welcome as soon as we arrived, and throughout our stay, making sure we were comfortable, reserving a table next to the roaring fire each night, informing us of local walks and places of interest. The food was plentiful and excellent value and quality, the local ales also a treat. Sally the owner was very friendly and caring, and Shane behind the bar even lent us his darts ! The rooms were very comfortable, and the building itself so full of character. The breakfast room was bright and you can have any combination of breakfast food you required, even pancakes, all very well presented and made freshly to order. The lounge and bar area were very warm and inviting , exactly as a village pub should be, two roaring fires, good ales, and comfortable seating. As you can imagine, we will certainly return to this hidden gem only 4 miles off the M6, yet with good links to Lancaster on the south , and the lakes to the north, if we can drag ourselves away from the fire!

    Had too many bags for the two flights of stairs - but that was our fault!

    Wonderful breakfasts - cooked as per individual orders and nice and hot. Bed was comfy as well, and the pub itself was very welcoming, with a roaring fire. Sally was extremely helpful and certainly made our stay one to remember. Thank you!
