The Knife and Cleaver

Food and service excellent, unfortunately the room smelt of damp really badly, the chimes from the church every 30 minutes kept me awake most of the night until I stuffed tissue in my ears, loud noise from cars passing on road, springy bed. Probably the worst nights sleep ever!

Welcome was excellent, room was nice but en suite requires some attention. The cistern ran all night wasting water and disturbing our sleep. Restaurant and food was great. Breakfast was ok. Lovely church across the road chimes on the hour and tinkles every quarter so not great if you're already awake because of the cistern.

Stayed here a lot on business and it’s got worse over the year, shower was impossible to use with no pressure, no mattress or pillow protectors, stains on both.. Grubby, bathroom desperate for a refurb, not enough light outside rooms, no blind on bathroom window The list goes on. But staff in pub were very nice and polite. I wouldn’t stay again nor recommend

It’s a pub and a very good one. Food is very good.

The pub is nice with lovely food ( a bit overpriced but they have the monopoly). The room was awful. The carpets were wet and the room smelled strongly of damp, which I complained about twice, with no resolution. Shower was broken. Had to hide my clothes in the ottoman and spray with deodorant. My clothes stunk of damp if I didn’t do this. Made me extremely uncomfortable. Wouldn’t go again

The room was nice, good layout, and the sofa area in the conservatory and outdoor space was a bonus. And it was quiet too, which I was worried about as it's a pub. The room wasn't super clean, there were dead bugs and stuff. And some of the room felt tired and tatty. But that wouldn't stop me staying again. However, the biggest issue was there is no wifi in the rooms, and the phone signal isn't great. As I was there to work it was a problem.

Lovely all round experience especially the food

Very pleasant stay.

Fantastic little gem of a property

The first room we were given was filthy so moved to another, again this was poorly cleaned, tissues under chair, hairs in the shower, an old razor left in the shower and walls stained. We cancelled a second night there. The bar was nice and food was delicious. The rooms need updating and thorough cleaning. Shame because it could be so much more

Breakfast could be full English every day not just weekends Restaurant is very good but expensive

We have stayed hear several times and always had fantastic service and excellent food , this time was the first time that we required breakfast on a Friday and was disappointed that the choice was only continental,

This is marketed as a 4 star hotel however I was very disappointed. The food was lovely however the service very poor. A brief summary: - not cheap - couldn't check me in due to 'computer problem', needed me to show my email booking receipt - I had pork skewers (lovely) but I had to ask for cutlery. - I had fillet steak (excellent) for dinner but wasn't offered any condiments. The server even left my dirty skewer plate on the table when delivering the steak. I had finished the skewers late afternoon. - The toilets for the bar area were tired, lots of broken tiles and a bit smelly. - Room 3 was nice however very warm, it was difficult to access the heater controls due to a shelf directly above the heater. - Toilet seat was broken. - Couldn't lock the front door from the inside. I wouldn't recommend staying here

The location was ideal and the room was good. Bathroom need an update and maybe a desk in the room. However, no cooked breakfast in the morning. Just 2 bread loaves, ham, cheese and cereal plus some tired looking pastries. This was not mentioned at check-in

The arrival at The Knife and Cleaver was wonderful. Staff helped me with the luggage and room 9 was both clean and impressive. Nice seperate seating area and outside patio was a bonus in the room. Well equipped and warm. WiFi was not so good but free inside the pub. We ate at the restaurant for the two nights. Food was okay first night. Second night not so good. No atmosphere either and staff consistently just giggling or calling you guys! All in all, the hotel side of the pub was well worth the money. Would definitely stay again. Would have another hit at the restaurant but maybe in the daytime instead.

Hidden gem close to lots of places. The good was fantastic and definitely gastro and reasonably priced. Everything you need and very friendly staff

Motel like rooms very pleasant. Staff were really good and friendly.

Very good- nice staff, comfy room, good restaurant

This is a real find, staff are fabulous food amazing and room private and cosy, with lovely fresh cotton sheets. All for a really fair price

Check in took 15 minutes due to Manager standing 3 metres away training new waiting staff. Waited for 5 minutes to be seated although both new waiting team were standing 5 metres away and did not even bother to engage with me. I left and went back to my room. The bedroom was very nice until i got into bed, the most uncomfortable mattress i have ever slept in.
