Overview

A very scenic country ride took us to reach this most attractive old pub, very inviting, and we were not disappointed on entering. beautiful beams and old wood with the untreated look about them, which suited the place so well. Comfortable, relaxing and delightful. The inn has 11 rooms, but it does not look as if accessible rooms are available, we did not see any, so not sure. Very popular at lunch time and the food look very good. Well worth a visit to this olde worlde inn, with a modern slant on a traditional English country pub, with real log fires, old 17th century oak beams. It’s set amongst good grazing land of undulating fields. OUR REVIEW There are enough parking spaces, but no disabled bay, but easy enough (photo 1). It has pull handle at front entrance, level path to reach door, but a tiny little step to have to get up (photo 2). Inside, the front door leads to the bar ahead of you (3) and as we had not booked a table in restaurant, we were directed to enjoy seating at the bar lounge area, and we noticed that it would have a step to get down, but we sat in a comfortable spot in the corner (4) overlooking gardens and a terrace area (5). The restaurant was quiet when we arrived (6) but it looked very nice and well laid out tables (7) and this is a pleasant restaurant serving good food and a reasonable menu, and it seems it is always busy, so booking in advance is recommended. Along with the comfortable bar lounge area that you may eat at, we saw a very nice dining area that seems to be kept for functions of some sort (photo 8) and this looks as if it would really be a pleasant dining area (9). Outside, under the canopy, a path leads you ahead towards the gardens (10) and a well tendered lawn with a table and bench to sit at (11), which on this day was inviting enough to sit at (12) and the family kindly gave permission to use the photo on our review. Heading Back inside (photo 13) the toilets were over to the left, with a sign to warn you of the step needed to get up (14) and the disabled was signed for us (15) which had a basic toilet area (16) which could do with a makeover, it was small and I could not get chair inside, so left it outside, but it does have grab rails and pull cord. OUR FINAL THOUGHTS Nice little visit, made to feel welcomed, very clean and well looked after property. There are however steps to hinder a full use of inn, but generally a nice place.

Transport & Parking

Driving here was a pleasure, it’s through pleasant countryside, and inviting looking inn as you arrive. No disabled bays, but all parking reasonably close to entrance anyway.

Access

We found to many steps in many areas, offputting but if like us you can cope, then it is a nice inn to relax and enjoy a break

Toilets

A little step to get over whichever way you go to the toilets, and quite small inside, with just basic needs.

Staff

All we meet or dealt with were pleasant enough.
