Love this place so much, we've stayed multiple times and wouldn't go anywhere else in the area. Food is second to none and the owners are really nice

Little gem. While the restaurant was closed due to bad weather, they were happy to accommodate by cooking up some delicious vegan Chips and deep fried carrots. Delicious with a cold local pint!

Lovely place with bags of character. What makes it special is the service. We arrived later than expected and they had stopped serving food. They went out of their way to generously provide me with stacks of deliciousness. Would highly recommend as a place to stay for the weekend especially if you have dogs. Will definitely return.

Amazing vegetarian meal. My boyfriend rarely eats vegetarian meals but said it was the best he's ever had. The 'duck' wraps were delicious. Small non-resident bar and it is a little dated but it's nice and the staff are friendly. The beer garden is lovely too.

A dated place yes, but for vegetarian and vegan food options it is amazing, and you can't argue with value for money. I would certainly recommend for food. It's not a pub environment where you could have children running amok, instead a quiet pint of local brewed ale.

Went to use the pub side with a friend. The place is dated and a throwback to the sixties in a bad way. There was no beer on tap, no lager on tap. Only bitter available was Tetley cold flow which turned out to be one of the worse pints I have had for a long time. Owner seemed intent of getting rid of his remaining stocks of Newcastle Brown, all three bottles of it.

To be honest going by the state of the place there is no way I would have food there. Needs a serious revamp to bring this place up to anything resembling a decent pub, avoid
