I ate here about a year ago and had a lovely steak and chips, so I was looking forward to returning. Unfortunately, my visit today was extremely disappointing. My partner ordered the chilli, which was very greasy and appeared to be served with microwave rice. There was only one member of staff working, covering both the bar and restaurant areas. I felt sorry for her, as it was clearly an overwhelming workload and she was doing her best under difficult circumstances. The food was also ridiculously overpriced for the quality we received. Overall, this visit was a huge contrast to our previous experience, and sadly we will be avoiding this place in the future.

We stayed for one night and were very happy overall. The standout was the gentleman running the place, who seemed to be doing everything. He was genuinely welcoming and made the stay feel easy and relaxed. The accommodation itself is a bit tired in places, but that felt in keeping with it being an old pub. Importantly, everything was clean and well looked after. The bedroom, bathroom, and bedding were all spotless, which matters more than modern décor. It has a nice, quaint, old-fashioned feel. We ate in the restaurant in the evening. The food was fine, nothing particularly memorable, and it did feel a little expensive for what it was, but that seems fairly typical at the moment. Breakfast, on the other hand, was excellent and a real highlight. It set us up perfectly for the day. It was very quiet during our stay. There were hardly any cars in the car park, and we were the only ones eating both in the evening and at breakfast. That may suit some people, but it is worth noting if you are expecting a busier atmosphere. One practical point: the electric vehicle chargers on site are currently not working, so do not rely on them. Overall, a pleasant, comfortable stay with great service and a strong breakfast.

Oh dear. First impressions were poor. Scruffy garden (OK, it's March...), but also a dirty outdoor staircase covered in cigarette butts, and a fairly rundown bar/reception area. Only one member of staff seen throughout, who seemed to flit between bar & waiting, not doing particularly well at either. I'm pretty sure we were overcharged for our mediocre evening meal (this is something I should have queried at the time admittedly),so watch out, the food not too bad, big portions, but clearly came from a pre-cooked packet. Rooms OK, reasonably clean but nothing really to note. Main issue is the hygiene, on arrival we noticed a tray of food, sausages etc. left out on the 'breakfast area' not cleared away, assuming this was from some event during the day. The following morning they were still on the side, revolting! Tables also left uncleared from the previous evening. We were offered a cooked breakfast the next morning but declined and left, at that point the whole place seemed a health hazard. The other breakfast options were dreadful, some cereals and some DIY instant coffee without even proper cups. Basically a table with a few things scattered around which neither looked clean or organised. Generally it seems poorly managed, woefully under staffed and there is a lack of care around the whole place, being messy inside and out. Not as though it was cheap either! Needless to say we will not be returning. I'd be surprised if the place stays in business more than a few months - it's a shame as it's in a good location and the building is lovely so could be a great pub if only the management actually cared a jot.

Moved to Stoke st Michael decided to take a drive for a quiet drink and came across this place its very spacious warm friendly atmosphere excellent customer service plenty of parking space. A very competitive food menu...very clean ..Sunday dinner is a good choice here. Or even stay in there affordable rooms. If you're in the area its worth a visit and if you are working away in the area you can always stay in comfortable surroundings and made to feel at home.
