We had a fantastic time at this pub! The atmosphere inside is very inviting with lots of cool stuff on the walls and comfy chairs, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. We were impressed with the German food on offer. I had the pork schnitzel with chips, which was cooked to perfection - crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. My partner opted for the foot-long currywurst, and it was equally impressive. The portions are very generous, and the food quality is outstanding. Everything was cooked from scratch and tasted fresh and delicious. If you're looking for a place with great vibes and excellent food, this pub is a must-visit!

The Three Pigeons has really changed, it’s not a place for a comfortable stay. Our welcome was very cold, seemed like we were bothering the hosts. The beds and pillows are very uncomfortable. We were provided one towel per person for a week long stay. The hot water went out and the hosts were very difficult to locate. We tried to reach out to the host through the phone numbers that were provided and knocked on the door. We never heard a response from the host about the issue of the hot water. We decided to leave because we had been outside hiking and without hot water for the entire day with no communication from the hosts.There is no longer a food service, they do not serve food at the pub anymore.We were told to leave our skeleton key in the apartment and leave the doors unlocked during the day while we were out.There was a dog barking on the property so loud that it woke us up from sleeping. We noticed how thin the walls are when another guest was staying on the other side of the apartment and we could hear every conversation very clearly. The overall feeling was that it was not a comfortable stay.It’s very disappointing to fly across the ocean to visit friends in the area and have to find alternate accommodations after a very cold welcome and uncomfortable stay. There were plenty of ways to handle the hospitality issues, but they just weren’t addressed at all. It simply felt like we were a complete bother.I would never recommend this as a place to stay, check out the cabins seated right below the Three Pigeons. Entirely different ownership.

Loved our visit here last night. Not just the food, but the experience as a whole. A warm welcome with fun banter and chat throughout the night. Great selection of drinks including of course some German beers on tap. Sat right next to the cosy fire. HUGE food portions, but so damn tasty and fresh, absolutely first class. So nice to be able to go out and eat something different. I grew up eating German food so this was a real treat. Finished the night with a cocktail and testing each other with one of the quiz books. Perfect! Shame we are not local, whenever we are in the area we will be back. 10/10

Family run pub. In an amazing location with vast looking views from pub garden. Plenty of parking,landlord was a very warm host. We both ordered the pork schnitzel.and weren't disappointed, fresh salad, loads of chips and lovely crispy pork in breadcrumbs, with a delicious mushroom sauce.Big portions, lovely German beer, locals were friendly. Can't recommend enough. Were hoping to move to the area so at last a decent local pub. We'll done,👍

The Three Pigeons was undergoing a vast refurbishment when I visited so I wasn't able to sample their wares ...but we were welcomed like old friends - new landlord, but with a shared common interest. It must be 15 years + since we last visited the place - we attended a bike 🏍 rally here on our lovely BMW R45. It was cold, raining & I must have been tired - but we hardly had time to get off our bike before friends & familiar faces descended upon us! If God gave me 3 wishes, I'd want to relive that night 😁🥳🤎 ... we did it though, and I'm grateful for that. And this is what The Three Pigeons provides in spades - Memories...and good, lasting memories.Several lodges are under construction which we must give a go! SO - true to the landlords invitation to return in 12 months .. we will - and we look forward to re-living that night (albeit more 'restrained') of 15 years ago!PS ...Bikers still VERY welcome.

Wow!!! Can’t believe how lucky I was to find this little gem!! Proper old pub with wide selection of drinks!As for the food, by far the best pub meal I’ve ever had, super fresh and home cooked and huge portions - serious value for money.The landlord and lady complete this little diamond of a place - really hope I find myself in this direction again as will definitely be stopping 🤩

Lovely food, we tried the Bratwurst, Currywurst & burger, all were great. Large portions too, even the kids meal was a good size. Friendly staff. Dog friendly and nice views from garden. Will go back if we are in the area again.
