"Started off well. Lovely old building, much more character on the inside than the outside suggests. Reminds me in a good way of how pubs used to be. Shame the woman running in was just downright rude. Seems to be a theme running through other reviews. The barmaid was lovely and friendly. The place was quite full with nowhere obvious to sit. There was an area with four tables with the lights off so I asked the barmaid if she could turn them on, and she happily agreed. Sat down at the table and a rude and unpleasant woman came over and told us we couldn 't sit there, they weren 't using the room tonight, and we 'd have to sit somewhere else. No smile, no apology, no pleasant words. As we 're walking out of the area confused wondering where the hell to sit, I said quite loudly care to suggest somewhere? and the woman turned back and said there 's a large table through there , directing us into a cramped back bar occupied by a group of locals who obviously weren 't happy at being intruded upon. My partner was really upset by this point so we ended up leaving our drinks and walking out. I 've drunk at all the local pubs on the back roads round here... The Knatchbull, The Bell, The Vobster, The Poacher 's, Strode Arms, The King 's Head, The Talbot... all fantastic pubs with warm, friendly staff and punters. Never found any of them less than pleasant and welcoming. Never had a problem in any of them. Never had reason not to wholeheartedly recommend any of them. The Wagon and Horses is a whole different story and I wouldn 't go back if you paid me."

"Booked with booking.com and not disappointed. Had a four poster bed which was really comfortable and spacious. Jaunty slope to floor which was great given age of property. Large room, able to open 2 windows and fan also provide. Loved the huge deep chest at bottom of bed. Unsure why there were wet patches on carpet though-possibly spot cleaned by housekeeping? Would have stayed another night but room was already booked. Curved staircase added to the character of the hotel. Although no hotel parking there is a public car park behind the hotel-$6.50 all day, free 6pm-9am, blue badge holders free. Back entrance to hotel off this car park, couldn’t be easier. Easy reception checked in early as room ready. Drop keys off in box on leaving. Toiletries supplied, tea/coffee making facilities and large bottle of water in room. Ate dinner in hotel, tasty and good choice. Breakfast included again tasty and good choice. Could do with more staff in evening as the 2 waiters were rushed off their feet. On leaving asked to pay by one when we had already paid the other. Waiter could have better knowledge of drinks or have a drinks menu for customers. Restaurant had some good artwork painted onto wall as did Jack Horners corner a nice little seating area over flagstone floor from bar seating. Will definitely stay again in four poster bedroom, did have a peek at others in morning as being cleaned and lots of different size rooms of good size. We didn’t stay in the nuns cell or the confessional but loved the names."
