    There is nothing of my experience that would be considered as something I didn't like.

    Very friendly staff, plenty of parking, good pub with friendly atmosphere, menu was comprehensive for a pub with very acceptable prices, dining restaurant has great deco but was only available for breakfast, multiple breakfast options but the actual cooked breakfast was small although very tasty.

    Most breakfast dishes were just variations of eggs on toast - would prefer slightly more variety.

    Friendly atmosphere in the bar. Food was ok.

    Overall a very pleasant stay but the cigarette smell (in the restaurant) will prevent further stay

    The restaurant smelt of cigarette smoke to which I am extremely sensitive

    Service excellent and food most enjoyable, made most welcome

    Steep stairs but I accept it’s a very old inn and it’s not surprising. Bed could be more comfortable. Kettle didn’t work in the morning having been fine in the previous evening.

    Very clean, spacious room and very good food in the bar at evening and at breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff.

    Aside from the uncomfortable bed, the only other downside was the lack of vegan options at breakfast. I had emailed before our stay to confirm that vegan options would be available and was assured there would be. However, nothing on the menu was labeled as vegan. The lovely staff did bring us some beans and tomatoes, but it would be great to see at least one dedicated vegan option on the menu.

    The staff were incredibly lovely and accommodating, and I was thrilled to meet Zorrow, the most beautiful dog! The pub atmosphere was great, and we really enjoyed our room. However, the bed was really uncomfortable, which was a bit disappointing. Aside from that, it was a lovely stay.

    Was sorry to miss ordering food by a minute on arrival. BUT kind of understand as was very quiet the evening was there.

    Lovely characterful pub restaurant hotel. Friendly staff and owner, good choice of beers. Room v clean and well presented. Don't bed and modern shower room. Good location if walking into Sherwood and the old oak.

    The rooms in the older part of the lodge were a little tired. They’d done a good job of keeping the decor updated but the age of fixtures and fittings is definately showing.

    Amazing location. Lovely helpful staff.

    Several small levels within room. Unable to reach night light lead. It long enough. Even trued moving the beds. Obviously not been hoovered under be from previous guest as there was an earring under the bed. Gave it to staff who where most apologetic. Only menu choice was Sunday lunch and bar closed at 8.39pm lm.

    It was well located. Easy to find. Clean comfortable bed. Breakfast staff very accommodating. Breakfast satisfactory.
