This is a lovely unique property being a very old pub. Our room was small but adequate with a large bathroom and, thankfully, air conditioning for the very hot weather. The dining room is lovely and the food was excellent. Breakfast in particular was great, with a great choice on the menu, cooked to order and piping hot. There is also a lovely outdoor beer garden. The staff were all helpful and friendly and I would not hesitate to stay here again.

The staff was very helpful - we had a delivery arrive before us and they helped facilitate. The air conditioning in the room worked very well!

Greeting on arrival not great, disorganised and manager swore behind bar for all to hear. Room very tired and waited 55mins for our breakfast to arrive. Overpriced for what it was, definitely won’t stay again.

Stayed on a work trip, very comfy and clean rooms with a fantastic pub restaurant. Great staff which made the stay feel very comfortable, alongside great food served at breakfast and dinner. Would stay again next time down in Sandown.

The staff are amazing and make you feel incredibly welcome. Room was nice but unfortunately freezing cold, no heating appeared to be in the room and you could not amend the temperature on the air conditioner unit to warm.

Unfortunately my stay here was not the greatest. The rooms are looking shabby, the bed is possibly the most uncomfortable I've slept on (with pretty much non-existent pillows), and the food was poor (cold soup and 'sourdough bruschetta' which turned out to be a toasted piece of packaged sliced bread with barely cooked pan fried peppers & onions). Disappointing. The staff were lovely though - which is why I'm ashamed to say I didn't bring up the problems at the time.

Property was booked so we could watch the football live on the Sunday afternoon. However, the employee in the bar area could not be asked to put it on although we asked politely and kindly so we had to pay taxis to go to another town to watch the football. The property was also so busy with drinkers on the Saturday night that it was impossible to eat there and once again, we had to pay taxis to go and eat somewhere else! In the end we paid a lot of money for convenience and ended up having to spend more and being unable to use the facilities! Not great!

Not the best of experiences. Very odd check in ! Took an age to get into the car park (I ended up having to enter the property as no one was answering the gate phone or my attempts calling the property) no apologies made either. Room key only works after 3 attempts. Very small room which was ok but the bathroom very dated.
