February 2025I had such a wonderful stay at this cozy pub! The staff were super friendly and made me feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious and offered fantastic value for money. I would definitely recommend it! 😊

March 2025Nice place with a character. Friendly staff, large clean room, strong hot shower. Lots of parking, good value for money. 1 star down as it was cold during the night with no heat coming from the radiator. Overall good value.

February 2025My partner and I stayed in a chalet for 2 nights travelling for work and I couldn’t fault it! Lovely supper in the pub both nights with a nice relaxed atmosphere and very helpful staff. I highly recommend the scotch egg and the ribs!! The chalet was cosy and very clean. We will be returning! Thank you team Holford.

March 2025We recently had Sunday lunch there, easy to find with ample off road parking. Don't let the outside put you off as a warm welcome awaits you once indoors. A truly old pub as I remember them from the 80's warm and cosy, also dog friendly. The service was exemplary with special mention to Beth who made us very much at home. The roast was bountiful and of a high quality as was the pudding, so much so I didn't eat again later! Would highly recommend and will return in the future. Party of 3.

February 2025I've eaten here a few times, and recently stayed in one of the rooms above the pub after having attending a friend's birthday celebration here. The rooms are full of character, beds are comfortable, the bathroom was clean, and the breakfast was spot on. The dinner menu was delicious. The team are lovely; really welcoming and helpful. Thank you. I will be back!
