Trip was for an overnight stop seeing friends at a charity event at Chipping village hall. Arrived at 4 pm and had a superb meal before going out. Very good selection on menu with a variety of special dishes. The staff were very friendly and made our stay very pleasant with a good hearty breakfast the following morning. Matt was very friendly & most helpful telling us about future events. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and certainly would return again.

Room was nice although a slight leak from the bathroom basin onto the counter surface. On the Sunday evening called in for a drink at 10 p.m. at bar to be told that the bar was shutting up at 10.30 promptly which was a little disappointing (assumed there would be 20 mins drinking up time as is generally the case in pubs). Breakfast was ok but choice of cereal had run out with an hour of the breakfast service to go with no replacement available.

Very good evening menu - comfortable beds and friendly staff. Dog friendly. Breakfast not included and we just wanted coffee and a slice of toast but were charged £9 and this didn't even include jam.

We stayed as a family of three, we received a warm welcome dined in the restaurant and stayed one night. Food and service was great. Our room was spacious and comfortable and we all had a decent a nights sleep, there were a couple of things we had to ask for but these were quickly provided for us. We’d stay here again :-)

Stayed here overnight as it is convenient for a journey from Scotland to the South of England. A lovely country pub with nice rooms. The staff were most welcoming and helpful, a delight to be their customer. We ate in the restaurant and found the food to be good. We would certainly consider staying again if we were in the area.

Room good size and clean. Could do with two bedside lamps rather than one. Extractor fan clunking noise when on. Room next door were noisy at night, so soundproofing would be good. Construction work started in next room before 0800 to change window.. Didn't need an alarm clock.

Very disappointed. The building is not manned at night. No outside security lights. No instructions given on check in about how to get in. Took us 20 mins to find the entrance door at 10.30pm- it was round the back behind the bins! Ruined my best shows because I stepped into a puddle looking for the door. Raining & cold. Roadside. Dangerous. Felt vulnerable and unsafe. Room was old fashioned. Wardrobe looked like it was from a flea market. Not worth the money. Mattress uncomfortable. No topper. Would not recommend & will not be returning. Complained at checkout & was told lots of other people have said the same things. Then why have they not changed things?????
