Nice, clean premises, quaintly decorated and the shared bathroom was lovely with a hot, strong shower. The young man who showed us our room was lovely and friendly and we had a delicious G n T in a very cosy area of the pub. …

LAD63 , who has apparently written some 2,736 reviews, says it all about this place and, being local, will doubtless know when the management last changed hands.  …

Genuinely a really nice quaint pub, the beer garden is a real sun trap for those warm Friday/Saturday afternoons. |Bar staff are always really friendly and chatty. There are some lovely drinks on draught, recently they have Clwb tropica (tiny rebel IPA), and a Nitro trooper Ale. |If you walk by, I'd recommend stopping for a drink.

The menu was lacklustre and half the things on it were not available. The place has no ambiance and the food we ordered took ages to arrive. Sadly the following day we discovered what looked like a good pub much closer to our accommodation. I wish we had seen it first.

We only went for food which was very nice, though some items wer unavailable, serving time was a bit longer than I would have liked but like I said the food was very nice, also due to a really good afternoon session some of the drinks were again unavailable also.

Lovely little inn. Very dog friendly.Staff are great. Room comfortable. Bathroom large, lovely shower. Breakfast good (full English) what's not to like.Had an evening meal and food was lovely. The lady who runs it, works extremely hard. Checking us in, running the bar, cleaning the rooms. Her partner was the chef. All in all, I would recommend it as a stop over and will definitely go back for another stay.

As the pub is a short walk from home and never tried since new owners. We had high expectations of making this our local.|Sadly the food and service did not live up to our expectations. |We booked a table for mid week 7.30pm.  …

Friendly, good quality food. The look of the outside doesn't do it justice.
