Lovely Pub restaurant/B&B with large beer garden. Very popular spot for lunch/dinner. Good local beer and has a proper bar area - it is not just food!. I had a lovely authentic tasting thai red curry - very very good. Also has three rooms (maybe four) nicely decorated, with excellent shower etc. for B&B. Breakfast was massive with quality produce. Highly recommended for stay, or a meal or for a few beers... .

Stayed 1 night Saturday to Sunday. Free carpark, plenty of spaces. Check in was smooth, room was clean and well presented. Nice little extra touches like hot chocolate and toiletries provided. We ate here for evening meal, food was delicious and portion was very generous. Would recommend contacting to book a table as it was very busy and to ask if there is any entertainment on. We could hear the singer from our room, but that wasn't an issue for us. The free breakfast lived up to expectations having read various reviews. Plenty to choose from on the menu. Opted for the full English and it didn't disappoint. Excellent quality, generous portion size and perfectly cooked. Thank you for a lovely stay.

There are 3 rooms (Cow, Sheep & Pig) and I was allocated Pig. The room was adequate rather than spacious but everything was comfortable and the bathroom had a good shower. There is ample parking and the Inn serves a great evening meal in the conservatory behind the lively bar. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would be happy to return.

Stayed one night as it is close to my old school for a reunion. I stayed in the Pig Room. Apparently being in a farming area, each room has an animal instead of a room number. To all those who have stayed in the Pig Room, you will understand. The shelving is in the wrong place as is the TV. Swop the TV and shelving around and your guests would not have to strain to see the TV. Also the TV is painfully small. My biggest complaint was the bed. It was so low. Almost a futon. OK for young people but anyone over 65 who is not physically fit, you have no chance standing up and getting out and off the bed. Not great at all.

Having read some of the other reviews regarding noise at the end of the day you’re staying at the pub what should you expect? I stayed in the cow room. Every time somebody use a hand dryer in the toilet downstairs, you heard it The other thing to bear in mind is our situated on a main road, so of course you’re gonna hear traffic noise They do only have three rooms here, but the service they give you a 2nd to none Dan was very professional in her, greeted me up on my arrival and throughout my stay and experience And you even get a free breakfast which is well worth it as a breakfast is absolutely lovely and cooked fresh The only thing I found a little annoying for myself was the fact I had no desk in the room to do any work from but other than that would definitely go back

Really lovely pub in a great friendly village setting. Food was amazing (the type you would make a bee line for if I was in the area again!). Rooms were pleasantly well appointed, with everything thing you would need, but would probably give another pillow option. The only slightly disappointing thing was that due to the rural setting there would be tractors passing very early in the morning. Probably wouldn’t have disturbed me if I didn’t need to have the windows open as it was so hot. All round though an excellent choice for anyone.
