"I love this place! The staff is so friendly and both the beer and the food are great! The atmosphere is unique due to the age of the building and I appreciate its quirkiness. Highly recommend!"

Nice old inn, but in need of a bit of TLC. However understand their situation in this current economic climate. Very friendly staff & local clientele. Reasonable food.

Great find, in a great location to explore the local area, staff, room / breakfast very good. Only thing to improve is the bar pricing, thought £6.70 a little excessive for a pint of local lager.

A cosy historic Inn with very comfy beds and excellent food in the restaurant - we enjoyed lunch; dinner and our breakfast (that was included). It was great to see so many people enjoying meals there on a Monday night, so clearly popular with locals. The staff were warm and friendly. There is one accessible room on the ground floor but all others were on the first floor which is accessed by a short but steep (turning)nflight of stairs......my 92 yr old mum struggled up and down & was quite breathless from the exersion. If you are over 5ft 6 you'll need to lower your head along the corridor but it's consitant with an 18 Century Inn and all rooms are of normal height. Our beds (2 single) were very comfy & the room was quiet- even with the window open for fresh air. A shelf in the bathroom would have helped with a place for toiletries......other than that, if was a very enjoyable stay and I would recommend to all who can manage stairs comfortably.
