"Whilst the room was as expected we were slightly disappointed at the overall experience. We arrived just before 3pm and on entering the pub via the back door, found it completely empty. Calling out attracted no response so we finally gave up and left to go for a ride around. On our return we were told that the pub wasn’t open so we’d have to go up the road for a meal, which meant yet another road trip. Breakfast was fine but no alternative offered, and the ambiance left a lot to be desired as the pool table and darts board clearly showed it was the sports room, with a few tables and chairs dotted around . After a lovely, but tiring day out for my disabled sister, we decided to eat in the pub. We were immediately told that the entire specials menu was not available, which was a shame as I’d decided what I was having whilst looking at it for ten minutes the day before whilst in the empty pub! A young lad said he’d find us a table (in a half empty pub) and took us to a table completely hidden away from the rest of the pub. We then ordered our food at the bar, got our drinks and waited and waited for the food to arrive. Over an hour later the meal, which was perfectly cooked, arrived. Now, the friendly hostess couldn’t wait for us to leave and started clearing the table before we were finished. When we asked to see the desert menu, she disappeared, only to come back and say, the kitchen was closed… Again she cleared away our drinks glasses so we left feeling very uncomfortable. Breakfast the next day was just the same, it was almost as if we were outstaying our welcome. I know tourists are transient custom but we would have returned if we had received better service. Whilst the landlady was lovely, she was just too overworked to pay more attention to what her customers needed."
