"For the second time I was a guest of Daniel and his team. When I checked in, I mentioned that it felt like coming home. I like the design and style of the whole house, The rooms are great and the pub downstairs is just a beer lover's dream. And after a nice evening at the bar, breakfast has to be right too: and this is great too! I look forward to seeing you again! Cheers Rooms: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5"

"A generous 3 stars here as I don't like to leave a bad review. We had a long walk and were looking forward to a Sunday Roast, however that was short lived as we weren't allowed in the pub with our dog. I've given low stars for how we were spoken to and how unfriendly the member of staff was towards us. Of course I understand the rules but can I please suggest this is made more obvious by perhaps placing a notice on the entrance of the pub. We went to another pub instead and I can't tell you the difference in the welcome of the staff who couldn't do enough for us. A real shame as it looked like a great pub but let down by poor customer service skills."

"I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention other readers a deeply distressing experience my partner and I had at your restaurant recently. While I commend your team's initial professionalism and understanding when we were running late, I must express my grave concern and disappointment with the way a severe allergic reaction was handled during our dinner. To provide context, I failed to disclose my severe nut allergy during the booking process, an oversight for which I take full responsibility. However, I was alarmed that neither our server nor the kitchen staff inquired about allergies when we placed our order, a standard practice that could have averted the unfortunate events that followed. I ordered the Stone Bass fillet, and upon taking the first bite, I immediately sensed an allergic reaction—my ears itching and throat tightening. Concerned, my boyfriend asked the server to confirm if the dish contained nuts. After a brief check, the server assured us that there were no nuts in the dish, and gave a thumbs up afterwards. Trusting this information, I continued to eat, only for my reaction to intensify. In the midst of my escalating allergic response, we expressed our urgent need to leave and requested the bill. Shockingly, another server insisted on the mandatory 2-course minimum for the set menu, despite our plea that I was unwell. This felt like an inappropriate and callous insistence on a policy rather than a genuine concern for our well-being. I want to emphasize that our complaint is not entirely motivated by financial concerns; we understand and respect restaurant policies. However, it would have been appreciated if we could have just paid for what we ordered. The lack of sensitivity and understanding during a medical emergency is deeply troubling.We both work in healthcare and we would expect a higher level of care and compassion from your establishment. The situation was aggravated by the absence of an allergen sheet, a standard feature in reputable establishments. Instead, the server texted the list of ingredients, which did little to alleviate our concerns and added an unusual element to the already tense situation. I sincerely hope you take this feedback seriously and use it as an opportunity to reevaluate your team's approach to customer care, particularly in instances of allergies. Imagine if this were a life-threatening situation involving your child, I would trust you would agree that compassion should always take precedence over policy. I urge you to consider implementing better training for your staff regarding allergy protocols and emergency situations. Your restaurant's reputation is at stake, and I believe a commitment to improvement will not only salvage customer trust but also contribute to a safer dining environment for all patrons. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I sincerely hope you take the necessary steps to prevent such distressing incidents in the future. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1"

"4 of us went for a meal on a Friday evening, we booked in advance but it wasn't that busy and we would of been able to get a table even if we hadn't. Some of us had starters and mains some had mains and desserts, I was really naughty and had all 3 . The Packhorse is one of those places you wish was closer to home it's a lovely pub with very friendly staff and all of the meals were excellent, we would 100% return if we are ever in the area again. If you are reading this review to decide whether or not to eat here then believe me do not hesitate get yourself along there you will not be disappointed.

"The food, atmosphere, and service at this restaurant are exceptional. I have visited about three or four times a year and have never been disappointed. I will definitely be returning soon. The average price per person for dinner is £30–40. I highly recommend the Pollo Strogonoff, Bruschetta, and Garlic Bread with Cheese."
