Rooms comfortable - you woundn't know you were a stones throw from the motorway because there is no obtrusive noise Food excellent. Service even better. Great beer. Really convenient location just off the motorway. The shower will massage you as you get clean. We really love this place. More

Stayed the night as attending a do at the nearby Rugby Club. Rooms were perfect for the overnight stay, very clean and up to date. Power shower was good. Were made very welcome on arrival and during late breakfast. On the down side the drinks were expensive and the breakfast was only adequate. Perfect for an overnight stop. More

I used to really rate this pub, food and service were excellent this time last year. Now very over priced, definitely not worth the money you pay for drinks or a meal. Were refunded for our food but will not be coming back. Very disappointed as used to be a lovely pub and restaurant. Haven't stayed here so cannot comment... More

I had the chilli with accompaniments the guacamole was dark green and tasted awful, the sour cram was not good and the chilli itself did not have a good flavour. The presentation was good but sadly the taste was... More

This is just a review on the food / restaurant so please take it as such. Recently had lunch here with friends and was really pleased with everything. Good extensive menu, friendly attentive staff and when the food did arrive it was top notch. Very busy at lunchtime with lots of office staff etc but that made for a good... More

Visited this venue with a group of friends and stayed in the accommodation block consisting of three separate self contained units. These were immaculately clean and provided all that was required. The shower was terrific. Had meals and breakfasts at the pub and found these to be excellent. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful and we... More

Having known this pub for 20 years we were pleased to hear it was under new management from early November. We gave them a few weeks to settle in and make changes to the previous menu which had put us off for a long time, then went for a Sunday roast a few weeks ago. It was superbly cooked and... More
