The Whistle and Flute

Great value

Parking can be a challenge, you either have to arrive very early or very late

Breakfast was lovely. Staff were lovely. Room was a little tired. Could do with a freshen up . Mattress was very soft could do with replacing.

Room was a little tired. Could do with a freshen up, curtains half hanging off.. Mattress was very soft could do with replacing.

I had stayed there before. It was because I liked it so much and felt sorry it was only for one night; I decided to plan a longer stay, this time for 3 nights. The main attraction for me is the food quality and the size of the meals. Usually, when cycling, I manage a starter, main course and dessert. However, I've now had 4 evening meals there and not once had room for a dessert, but in its own way it's good! It also meant I could manage the full English for two mornings. I did on the third morning, and it's big! There are plenty of breakfast options. A nice touch was that, before breakfast, on the third morning, I sat outside in the sun reading, and the lady offered (which I accepted) a cup of tea on the house. Finally, I like that it's located alongside the rail station, making trains the perfect way to travel to/from it.

I was a bit disappointed the bar didn't have any bitters/ales on draught. It won't stop me from going again, but it's the on thing that stopped me from giving an "excellent rating.
