    Bit disappointed that I had requested parking and was told that it wouldn't be a problem but when I arrived no parking was available, although I was directed to a nearby carpark which was free. Also disappointed that WiFi was not free after the first 30 minutes.

    Whilst hotel was somewhat 'rustic', it was exactly as I was expecting for a country pub. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly and room was perfectly adequate for my needs. I asked for dinner recommendations and was very pleased with the suggested Italian restaurant on the High Street as it was excellent. Accommodation may not suit everybody, but it was perfect for me and I would stay again now that I am aware of exactly what you receive and what you don't.

    The only gripe I have was how noisy the pub gets, we were advised when I rang for another matter before we arrived that it is noisy on a Saturday night but it was a bit more than I'd imagined, so just be aware if you're looking to book. Apart from that all was good.

    The room that we stayed in was fantastic, far outceded my expectations for a pub. The pub is in a good position for the main amenities in the town, I have limited mobility and walk with a rollator but the distance to the main street was easily doable. The breakfast is lovely they asked if we wanted a full English and we said yes, a lady came down just after us and she had poached eggs on toast so I'm sure other options are available.

    Pub open until 1am and loud clientele. We didn’t know about the 1am closing until close to travelling date and too late to find another room. Our room was over a quieter area, but couldn’t have the window open. £80 seems steep for what it is.

    Helpful staff, very clean, comfortable bed with quality linens, modern lovely bathroom (big shower), great full English breakfast with meat from local butchers.

    There was no breakfast available- especially as it was impossible to get breakfast anywhere local before 10 am - and we had to leave by then. no parking- but some very close down the street.

    It was warm and the room was quiet and in a handy place, staff were very welcoming, near a few food places, Abdul’s was lovely food- take your own wine though. we could hardly hear anything from the busy loud pub downstairs- impressive sound proofing.

    Breakfast was full English, but the toast was brittle - on cutting the toast a portion flew off the table - but nevertheless an enjoyable and adequate meal.

    The location is ideal for anybody using the local bus services, being only 1 minute from the bus terminus. Although there was expectably a lot of noise in the bar, we could not hear this in our room. The bed was extremely comfortable and there were 6 USB charging points. The staff were extremely friendly.
