    The flavours of the evening meal were unfortunately left on the blackboard rather than delivered to the plate so supper was more 'sustenance' than anything memorable.

    The standards at the Lamb Inn are very high indeed, from the heavy bath towels and complimentary robes, to the spicey 'Virgin Mary' mix with breakfast (there was even a bottle of vodka for those wanting an early zing with their muesli). The room was well-proportioned and quiet with a large bathroom on a split-level. Toiletries provided were sensational, as was the sunflower head shower. Beds were comfortable too. The breakfast was described as 'continental' but only the warm croissant hinted at anything other than the British at its best on St. Georges Day; fresh honey, yoghurt, toast, homemade jams and marmalade, individual rich butter, fresh fruit and cereal. Hot options were available for an additional cost. The staff were all charming and efficient. There is a cosy bar with locals and their dogs and a glowing log fire was set for early arrivals. Although the bar is very welcoming, be prepared to pay hotel prices for your drinks.

    They advertised that breakfast was included in the price but when we went down for breakfast the only choice was continental breakfast without paying an additional charge of £6 to £12 for a cooked breakfast. I explained that this was not made clear on the website but they were not prepared to provide anything but the Continental Breakfast unless we paid extra. However, they did say they would alter the information on the website to make this clear in future but I see that this has not been done.

    It was clean, warm and cosy. Charming place to stay.

    I went by mistake to another the Lamb inn cause there are three with the same name in the same area.

    Superlative food, both for breakfast and dinner! Very cozy place and typical with great food. Exactly what I was looking for! The room is also very cozy and beautiful! Highly recommended

    Cannot remember anything we didn't like

    Loved everything, location, drinks/food area in atmospheric gastropub. Great snacks, exactly what we wanted. Breakfast also easy+filling. Went for the more continental/muesli type of breakfast, can't wait to have the cooked one next time.

    There was a perfectly adequate cold breakfast (croissants, cereal, toast, yoghurt, etc) but cooked breakfast was extra. This isn't a huge problem but it maybe should be made obvious on the listing so you can be fully informed before deciding to book or not. However, I might have missed that so apologies if I did!

    We booked quite last minute for our stay but I had checked out the pub beforehand, the room was very sizable for the price we paid (I think the chap said we had been upgraded which was great!), the bed was very comfortable with lovely sheets and pillows. The bathroom was clean and well appointed. The staff were great, very helpful. We only stayed one night and checked in later in the day but we did enjoy a great dinner, lovely food with a different menu and great service. Thanks for making us so welcome.

    The shower was in the bedroom rather than in a separate bathroom. This wasn't awful, just interesting.

    Everything was wonderful and great value for money. We loved the food in particular - amazing food at dinner, and breakfast had great touches including make your own bloody Mary, and they let you swap out items on the hot food breakfasts. Would definitely stay again.

    Only negative would be that the room I was in, 6, had the extraction system from the kitchen next to it. There was no smell, but the noise was noticeable as it constantly runs while the kitchen is open. I'm sure this only affects certain rooms though. Car park also quickly fills up, but you can normally find somewhere on the road.

    Good decor and the bed was very comfortable, couldn't ask for more for £99. Food and drink is excellent in the pub, with polite and interested young staff taking care with you. Lovely to see a pub that has not had the heart ripped out of it and character kept in place.

    Really didn't not like anything but within the menu for evening meal, it may well add a couple of maybe simple dishes. Everything that we ordered was delicious and staff were all very attentive. We ate in the bar area as on that night, it was the warmest place to be but that may be because we were there mid week.

    The breakfast was just what we ordered, very tasty with good produce. Staff member was very nice and friendly. Liked all the extra touches in room like scent sticks, coffee maker, nice linen, towels and shower/hair products too. Room was warm on arrival.. albeit small but with the touches, it all came together and nice and cosy.
