"Lovely little room located above a pub, perfect quick getaway with wonderful staff. Continental breakfast is included which is just enough to start your day. Views inside the room are amazing with the way the building is built up a hill"

Helen Browning's Royal Oak was exactly as pictured on the booking site. The rooms were very quirky and comfortable. Definitely not the biggest room we have stayed in but perfectly functional. The communal area more than made up for this and gave us somewhere to chill out. Dinner and breakfast were really good as was the atmosphere in the bar. It is off the main highway a bit but well worth the effort.

Lot of history with the building. it is a working farm. While not modern rooms they retain the character of the building and have everything you need. Ensuites are modern and fully renovated. Bed extremely comfortable. Owner very friendly and helpful. Lovely little village with a lovely pub within walking distance that had great meals. The place really grows on you and you get some understanding of the history of the place. Highly recommend!

This was a great place to stay. The room was very clean and had a great bathroom.
It was a simple walk into the city which had ample places to visit, eat and shop.

We loved the old country pub and hospitality. After a quick walk around the village we settled in for a few ales a fantastic dinner ad a good night sleep. Our breakfast was included which was fantastic as it was a full English breakfast cooked to perfection. Loved our time there and would highly recommend for anyone

This hotel was highly rated as the best in UK… unfortunately it did not live up to this expectation.
The facilities are run down; it has a nice pool that was probably amazing in its day. The breakfast was good; better than the Michelin star dinner!
Our experience may have been tainted because we had just stayed at Heckfield place which was so much better!
The grounds and the main house is quite beautiful. We would have loved to do some horse riding but the weather wasn’t permitting.

The first sight is exactly as the photo of the Inn, and we walked in to a happy and friendly pub, not rowdy, and collected our keys to our room which was as shown in the website. Generous with tea, coffee and milk, plus a pair of binoculours to look out onto the hill behind.
We quickly returned to the bar, with it's original beams and polished copper benches for a drink then a meal. Good value prices, choices and the meals were delicious and huge. I could not finish my meal. The cooked...
