A very welcoming greeting upon arrival. The room was lovely and clean with plenty of storage space. The breakfast was very good and certainly set you up for the day. I didn’t eat in the pub for an evening meal, but it was a very quaint country pub, full of atmosphere. The menu choices looked very good, and if the breakfast was anything to go by I’m sure the meals would be very good too. Highly recommend the old inn.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Website states rooms situated on pub forecourt, it is in fact the pub garden. Which means, if you have the windows or doors open, you have cigarette smoke blowing in. Tables and benches are placed right outside of our property therefore no privacy at all. This feels more like staff living quarters than a holiday let.

The very best part of our stay was getting to know the owners, Paul & Jean. That said, the pub was cozy, good food, lovely room.

I really enjoyed staying here - nice room, good food, a skittles alley to play on, and really friendly, accommodating staff. The only issue was that the accommodation can be a little noisy as it faces onto the beer garden of the inn, but I don’t think that spoiled our enjoyment (just something to be aware of)
