    Stunning location and hotel

    The door to the building above the pub did not lock so over night anyone could gain access to the building and our room was first one from the door which felt a security risk, called reception and told they knew was broke. Couldn’t fix it and advised would be safe as small village which I wasn’t happy about it but not a lot could be done. The room was also very hot they did provide a fan which helped a little.

    Beautiful location lovely rooms, cottage room was stunning. Room above the pub smaller but lovely and quiet still feels like your out in the sticks but still local enough drive to good shopping and restaurants. Easy check in and check out. The cottage room that family stayed in loved the room the large shower and the fact Netflix was on the tv for night time watching.

    The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I was travelling alone and they made me feel comfortable. The rooms are to a very high spec, clean and comfortable. The dinner menu is varied and interesting and had lots of gluten free options for me. The breakfast was also excellent with a good choice on the menu. All great value for money.

    Room charming. Generally quiet. In a good location, convenient for stops off the M40.

    Towels & bath robes which had been washed a 1000 times & no longer white nor fluffy. Only one cup was in the room for tea & coffee. Just felt it lacked attention to detail for a room that was £260 a night in a pub

    The room was warm & bathroom was stylish with a roll top bath & large shower.

    Room lighting was too poor to read by. Limited breakfast menu - only cooked options, no cereal, muesli or fruit etc Big heavy coffee cups which make the coffee cold within a few minutes.

    The evening meal we had from the Christmas menu. The main course was over cooked and yet cold when delivered to the table. The cheese course consisted of two skinny pieces of cheese - cheddar and Stilton - not a true selection.

    Breakfast main very good. Cereal and juice not on offer.

    Nice pub, comfy rooms, extremely questionable safety arrangements when there aren’t any staff are on site particularly

    At 5am the fire alarm started blasting throughout the bedrooms, the only people at the property were guests and there were no staff on site at all. In the bedroom there was a list of several telephone numbers to call, and after trying all of them we managed to get through to a staff member who was on holiday who then advised that they would contact a colleague in the village. Eventually after more than 25 minutes a member of staff arrived and proceeded to turn off the alarm. During the time we were trying to contact a member of staff, we had to stand outside in case there was a real fire, and so my 83 year old mother had to wait on the street in the drizzle whilst we tried to ascertain the severity of the situation. Complete inadequate safety provisions.

    The pub and the bedrooms are comfy and well appointed, and we enjoyed a good meal in the pub.

    A way to black out the light from the windows and perhaps a fan in the room please. A small fridge would be very beneficial in the room also for summer months.

    Is a beautiful place, the staff are lovely, village very picturesque. The staff went out of their way to provide breakfast earlier than they normally begin serving.
