The Weary Friar

I booked two nights for myself and my 12 yr old daughter. I was looking for somewhere with a bit of character, that was away from all the noise and bustle, had a good breakfast to set us up for the day and food available in the evening. I was not disappointed. The Weary Friar was such a great little find, a proper country pub with great food (nothing too fancy), friendly staff and peace and quiet to wake up to. Will definitely head there again!

Just a friendly warm place to stay

Fantastic Friendly staff...Good Food.. Clean room...Just a buzzing noise kept me awake....But would def return if in the area.

Beautiful, quirky old building with a lovely pub downstairs. The staff we encountered were very friendly and polite. Note that it can be challenging to drive there if you follow certain phone directions like we did! But when we left we were told an easier way to leave the immediate area and that was so much better.

Had a brilliant few nights at The Weary Friar. We stayed in The Friar’s Rest, which is a separate cottage just next to the pub. Really peaceful and quiet — perfect for switching off. The cottage was spotless, well looked after, and had everything we needed, including a proper kitchen (though we mostly ate at the pub!). Breakfast was great every morning — decent portions and really good quality. We had dinner there a couple of times as well — can highly recommend the fish and chips. The pub itself is really welcoming, with a nice atmosphere, and the staff were lovely — friendly, helpful, and made everything easy from the moment we arrived. The surrounding area is beautiful, proper countryside. Plenty of parking too, and it was easy to find. All in all, a great little break — would definitely go back.

Arrived late so didn’t eat but very good quality breakfast Lovely spot.

Great place to stay and good beers and food too.

Great friendly staff. Lovely old pub / hotel. Food excellent. Service first class. Amazing breakfast too

Lovely place to stay with friendly owners and staff. Always very helpful and breakfasts were top!

Nice staff good food

Nice place

In the deep countryside yet popular with locals and visitors. Great pub restaurant vibe. Breakfast could be improved with fresh fruit and yoghurts available. The staff were absolutely on the ball.

Great stay - good food, good beer, friendly service, lovely location and characterful building - good value to boot

Breakfast was filling.

Very clean, amazing place for its age. Food good, very friendly staff.

A weird mix, to start, it is a beautiful spot with lovely views next door to an old church. Nice warm welcome, lovely clean, comfortable room. The bed was comfortable, the area very quiet so expect a good sleep! There is a nice note about the new staff working so please be patient, but some basics were just missed. I watched tables being wiped down where the food was just brushed onto the floor, the tables themselves were sticky. I saw four tables go to the bar and ask to pay their bill. The food is ok, I would certainly debate how much is frozen food compared to the "home cooked" I just feel for the money asked to stay, a higher quality of food and basic service could be expected.

Friendly service

Lovely place and village and although we were eating out the meal options looked good and the breakfast was lovely. Downside, difficult getting a taxi, got one in the end but definitely pre book taxi as early as you can, other occasions, I wouldn’t of needed a taxi, only a minor thing this, would stay again though

A quiet and comfortable stay. Welcoming place

What a lovely hotel .. everything I was expecting and more .. the staff were excellent and helpful … the breakfast was excellent.. will definitely be back
