Pros: The pub as a whole was very warm, comfortable and inviting especially after a very wet day spent exploring the nearby towns and villages. Our room was spacious, comfortable and well equipped with a range of drink supplies and biscuits, the bathroom was good with an excellent shower, lovely soft large and fluffy towels and a range of toiletries. The information book in our room was informative with suggestions for walks especially good in the local area. The staff were really lovely, very helpful and friendly.

Cons: There was nothing I didn't like other than I had a 30 minute drive from the pub to my first visit. That was my fault.

Pros: Lovely, cosy pub in a great location close to A12. The staff were really friendly and helpful; the rooms were comfortable and the food was excellent.
Cons: The shower screen did not keep the water in so we were a bit worried about it leaking through the ceiling! But the shower itself was lovely

Cons: The breakfast range was a bit limited especially on our second morning when it appeared we were the only guests in the hotel and there was also a shortage of staff. The chef did apologise for lack of front of house staff but it was somewhat alarming to realise we were the only people in the hotel overnight!

Pros: Good location, value for money, good breakfast Helpful staff
Cons: Bit noisy as it is just at the road side with heavy traffic
5,0 Okay
Pros: Good evening meal, choice on menu and quality of the food
Cons: Constant traffic noise stopped good sleep. Fairly basic room, only one chair, had to keep electric heater on as it was cold (so dried the air - I suppose I should be grateful there was a heater). Breakfast served only until 0900 - in my experience very early to finish.
7,1 Good
Pros: Comfortable beds, excellent cooked breakfast and friendly staff
Cons: Unfortunately despite Double glazing traffic could be heard until after midnight in our busy main road- facing room. We were told refurbishments are planned for next year and several new rooms planned facing fields away from the road. But a poor night’s sleep made us leave after our first night.Pity.

Pros: Homely feeling and very good service from booking to departure.

Pros: Booked at the last minute on a Thursday night and got a pretty good rate: check in was simple and friendly, and it turned out I had been upgraded to a four-poster room as all the standard double (which I'd booked and paid for) were already booked, which was a nice surprise. The room was a great size and a nice temperature, bed was comfy, there were tea/coffee making facilities and biscuits, the en suite bathroom was sparkling clean.

The room was a great size and a nice temperature, bed was comfy, there were tea/coffee making facilities and biscuits, the en suite bathroom was sparkling clean.
Cons: It was a great room but there were a few little niggles: there was no lock on the inside of the door, only a chain - this made me feel very insecure and vulnerable, especially as I was on my own. The floor creaked REALLY badly. There was a stand with tea and coffee etc but the kettle had a ridiculously short power cord and the only place to plug it in to make a cup of tea was down at the floor next to the bathroom.
