Stayed for one night (Sunday) for a very reasonable £49.50. The property has a large car park, and is a popular location for food and drinks. And what a spectacular location it is, right beside a river with an old stone bridge crossing it. Our room (no.22) was at the very far end of the car park and was reached via some steep stairs. Unfortunately no river view here - I would imagine these were only available in rooms 1-3, towards the car park entrance. Some of the rooms, including ours, and 1-3 are in a lodge, so have a shared entrance. Our room was a reasonable size, with a king sized bed, a bath and shower, and two charging points on either side of the bed. All of the staff we engaged with were super friendly. I can't comment on the main courses, as we didn't order these. However, we did order from the starters and sides towards the end of food-serving time (8pm); cayenne pepper whitebait, sweet potato fries, sticky chicken wings, halloumi fries with chilli jam. All perfectly fine. The bar has all the choices you'd expect from a Marston's inn, and a small range of cocktails. Our room was relatively warm due to the weather, but a large portable plug-in fan was provided in the room. Although busy, we could barely hear any noise from the pub or the area outside during the time spent in the room. For the price we paid and its stunning location, I would definitely recommend a stay here.
This pub / Hotel is an absolute wonderful place to stay with a fast running river to the rear. The manager, Devina was very helpful and extremely kind when checking me in. All staff throughout my stay was very friendly. The evening meal was good and the large breakfast was well cooked with lots of tasty pastries also available.
Came for a meal with visiting family. We all ordered different mains from mixed grill to fish & chips, the food was amazing. It was hot and fresh and great value. Puddings are to die for! All the staff are very friendly and helpful. They all work extremely hard but nothing is too much for them. Well done all see you soon!
