Good stay.

The pub and accommodation were amazing and felt very homely. I guess the only downside was the fried breakfast, the sausages were very dry and not enough beans. But it was ok.

We stayed two nights at this property. Room was okay, but I think we got their last room. It had a nice bar and outdoor sitting area but the food was not good. Presentation was good but taste and quality not good. We wouldn’t choose to eat there again.

A very short and pleasant stay.

It was a last minute late night stop over after a missed flight to Stansted. Arrived at 9.30pm to a warm welcome. Kitchen was closed down, but I was offered sandwiches or cheese and biscuits. The cheese was great. Room was spacious and well presented. Across the road from the inn. Comfortable bed. Everything I needed. Had a lovely cooked breakfast served by friendly staff. Even the little spider in my sugar wasn’t a negative. It is a country Inn and wildlife is always present. Based on the few hours I was there, I’d recommend it.

Lovely pub, average accommodation

The staff and food at dinner were lovely. Breakfast wasn’t run at quite the same standard with a lot of mistakes and delays on orders. The room was nice, although the finer details could do with a bit more attention (dust in corners, dirty grout in bathroom). Bed nice and comfy, unfortunately we were near the road so a bit noisy but that can’t be helped. The resident cats will wake you up early whilst they’re waiting for breakfast though if the traffic doesn’t! We were charged £25 extra for our dog which is a bit steep in my opinion. We also didn’t get the dog bed/treats that we read about after and had to bring our own so not sure what that cost is for. Would definitely return for dinner, however I wouldn’t stay over again.
