We stayed 2 nights in April on a kgb deal and felt very welcome. The landlady, Helen, was helpful and took a genuine interest in our plans, offering opinions and making recommendations.

Stayed here for a weekend and was allocated room 4. The physical environment of the pub is fine and homely with good evening meals at a reasonable price. The accommodation ( room 4) is a different story- This room is inadequate and needs an urgent refurb. The carpet needs replacing in the bedroom and it most certainly need removing from... More
