What guests think
Across recent reviews, The Weary Friar Inn is praised as a welcoming country pub stay with friendly staff, a peaceful rural setting, ample parking, and a relaxed, cosy atmosphere in a characterful historic building.
Rooms are generally comfortable and quiet, with some stays in a separate cottage, though a few guests reported uncomfortable mattresses, a buzzing noise, or chilly bathrooms. Food is widely enjoyed for classic pub dishes and breakfasts, but reports include a disappointing breakfast for some and an overcooked Sunday roast. Cleanliness is usually strong, with clean rooms and well-kept spaces, though occasional lapses were noted in dining areas. Overall, expect a relaxed rural inn with classic pub comforts.

A village inn in essence, bigger than expected, well looked after and clean with pleasant, helpful staff. Plenty of parking and quiet. Good bar choice and would stay there again. The only slight letdown was the Sunday roast lunch which was over-cooked and tasted and looked like it had been kept warm for hours. The other meals were adequate.

Beautiful, quirky old building with a lovely pub downstairs. The staff we encountered were very friendly and polite. Note that it can be challenging to drive there if you follow certain phone directions like we did! But when we left we were told an easier way to leave the immediate area and that was so much better.

Had a brilliant few nights at The Weary Friar. We stayed in The Friar’s Rest, which is a separate cottage just next to the pub. Really peaceful and quiet — perfect for switching off. The cottage was spotless, well looked after, and had everything we needed, including a proper kitchen (though we mostly ate at the pub!). Breakfast was great every morning — decent portions and really good quality. We had dinner there a couple of times as well — can highly recommend the fish and chips. The pub itself is really welcoming, with a nice atmosphere, and the staff were lovely — friendly, helpful, and made everything easy from the moment we arrived. The surrounding area is beautiful, proper countryside. Plenty of parking too, and it was easy to find. All in all, a great little break — would definitely go back.

A weird mix, to start, it is a beautiful spot with lovely views next door to an old church. Nice warm welcome, lovely clean, comfortable room. The bed was comfortable, the area very quiet so expect a good sleep! There is a nice note about the new staff working so please be patient, but some basics were just missed. I watched tables being wiped down where the food was just brushed onto the floor, the tables themselves were sticky. I saw four tables go to the bar and ask to pay their bill. The food is ok, I would certainly debate how much is frozen food compared to the "home cooked" I just feel for the money asked to stay, a higher quality of food and basic service could be expected.

The one real positive during this stay was the staff, they were all very friendly and welcoming from arrival through to breakfast so thank you. However, the stay itself was quite disappointing. The room was cold, the basic bathroom was freezing and the bed was uncomfortable and you can feel the springs. The food was sadly very average at best and if I had paid separately for breakfast I would have asked for my money back. I’m not a hater but I won’t be staying again and wouldn’t recommend it (sorry to the fabulous staff).

Another comfy stay with great food They are constantly doing things to the place - i'm sure such an old building needs constant work ! The sausage and mash beat me - really good room at the back was really quiet great value and far more pleasant than staying in a "Premier lodge" Its out of the way, but well worth finding see you all soon

I booked two nights for myself and my 12 yr old daughter. I was looking for somewhere with a bit of character, that was away from all the noise and bustle, had a good breakfast to set us up for the day and food available in the evening. I was not disappointed. The Weary Friar was such a great little find, a proper country pub with great food (nothing too fancy), friendly staff and peace and quiet to wake up to. Will definitely head there again!

Lovely place and village and although we were eating out the meal options looked good and the breakfast was lovely. Downside, difficult getting a taxi, got one in the end but definitely pre book taxi as early as you can, other occasions, I wouldn’t of needed a taxi, only a minor thing this, would stay again though

In the deep countryside yet popular with locals and visitors. Great pub restaurant vibe. Breakfast could be improved with fresh fruit and yoghurts available. The staff were absolutely on the ball.

Really quite enjoyed this little pub stay. Tuesday night is bell ringing practice at the neighboring church until nine so parking is a premium if arriving late. Busy friendly place with an awesome breakfast.

The one real positive during this stay was the staff, they were all very friendly and welcoming from arrival through to breakfast so thank you. However, the stay itself was quite disappointing. The room was cold, the basic bathroom was freezing and the bed was uncomfortable and you can feel the springs. The food was sadly very average at best and if I had paid separately for breakfast I would have asked for my money back. I’m not a hater but I won’t be staying again and wouldn’t recommend it (sorry to the fabulous staff).

A village inn in essence, bigger than expected, well looked after and clean with pleasant, helpful staff. Plenty of parking and quiet. Good bar choice and would stay there again. The only slight letdown was the Sunday roast lunch which was over-cooked and tasted and looked like it had been kept warm for hours. The other meals were adequate.

I booked two nights for myself and my 12 yr old daughter. I was looking for somewhere with a bit of character, that was away from all the noise and bustle, had a good breakfast to set us up for the day and food available in the evening. I was not disappointed. The Weary Friar was such a great little find, a proper country pub with great food (nothing too fancy), friendly staff and peace and quiet to wake up to. Will definitely head there again!

Had a brilliant few nights at The Weary Friar. We stayed in The Friar’s Rest, which is a separate cottage just next to the pub. Really peaceful and quiet — perfect for switching off. The cottage was spotless, well looked after, and had everything we needed, including a proper kitchen (though we mostly ate at the pub!). Breakfast was great every morning — decent portions and really good quality. We had dinner there a couple of times as well — can highly recommend the fish and chips. The pub itself is really welcoming, with a nice atmosphere, and the staff were lovely — friendly, helpful, and made everything easy from the moment we arrived. The surrounding area is beautiful, proper countryside. Plenty of parking too, and it was easy to find. All in all, a great little break — would definitely go back.

The staff were all lovely, The mattress I slept on was really uncomfortable and needed to be changed! The restaurant food in the evening was really good which made it strange that the breakfast was really disappointing! Rubbish cheap sausages, one small slice of bacon and cold coffee.

Everything was good and recommend to others. Only downside was the bath was rather difficult to get out of. We had an evening meal at the Weary Traveller and it was very good.

Stayed just the one night and arrived right at the end of check in, but it definitely did the job. Very much a local feel, and the staff and other guests I met were all lovely. Had a great chat with the barman about football and movies. The room itself wasn't anything special but it was clean, and I appreciate the TV being a smart TV that you can sign in to your streaming services of choice. Breakfast was fine, if not a bit under seasoned for my taste. But salt and pepper are on the tables so it's just like being at a café. All in all, I can't complain.

The staff was excellent, the room clean, the parking easy and the bar had a tv to watch the game. Down point was the bathroom - with a shower that didn't maintain the temperature of the water for longer that seconds and I had to adjust it all the time. Very nice for the price, but the romantic recommendation mislead us somewhat.
