"IGNORE any bad reviews ! We stayed round the back of the pub on hard standing in our camper van for £10 a night. If you LOVE OLD PROPER PUB’S how they should be then look no further. Full of friendly local’s and the landlord Dan…….well, what can we say……he was AMAZING…….so friendly and welcoming, couldn’t do enough for us, he spent time with us and was interested in who we were and what we did. The place is full of antiques and old memorabilia……even has a resident tortoise ! It’s an OLD PUB so don’t expect fancy fixtures and fittings and fancy furniture. If you want that then go to a wine bar ! The toilets are old but they were VERY clean. The place is dog friendly too. We also ate here and food was good and reasonably priced. It’s an OLD TRADITIONAL pub so don’t expect restaurant food……but saying that, don’t leave a bad review because the food wasn’t up to your expectations for a tenner ! THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR HOSPITALITY DAN…..we shall be back. We loved it !! James and Shelley x"

A fantastically friendly, warm and unique pub to settle in to. Super dog friendly. Some seasonal drinks and great beers, ales, wines and spirits. Highly recommended.

What a great night with McDan as Mchost for the evening Lots of facts about Burns in the Burns Unit Great food as always. Great entertainment worth the 1 1/2 hour drive

Words don't even begin to explain how good this pub is! We came as a group of 15 young people and were made to feel nothing but welcome by Dan! He put on pizzas for us and all even catered for the vegan and gluten free members of the group

Have visited the Yew Tree a few times. It is one of the most fantastic places to enjoy. It is like going back in time! Dan is amazing, his whole character makes the visit worthwhile! Do not miss out go and see it for yourself. Have a drink and chat.

Two stars is being generous. 1 for the unique pub it was. 1 for the friendly people there. If I could rate it zero for the food, I would. I have never experienced such low quality food. Tastless mashed potatoes, gravy, cheap peas, and a shop bought pie. And to add insult, they charged us £10.00pp and the local dog at my feet while I ate it. The menu here says £7pp. It wasn't worth £3. Drink there if you don't mind sitting in a dirty antique warehouse but otherwise keep driving to find edible food.

I’m writing this still in awe of this amazing pub…. Never experienced anything like it in my life. The landlord welcomed 7 of us (3 kids) on short notice. He cooked wonderful food for us all. The beer was sublime. There is a tortoise called Colin, a dog called Maud and an atmosphere that cannot be manufactured. His daughter is wonderful behind the bar and I guarantee you, as long as you are not a snob you will absolutely love this place. My young daughters were still talking about their evening at this old pub the day after!

I received a warm welcome from the owner, Dan, as well as the locals and other friendly patrons at this charming pub. The interior has remained unchanged since my last visit about 35 years ago, with quirky furniture, antiques, old stockings, and even a black dog named Maud. They offer a good selection of drinks, including a delicious blood orange cider. The pub has a great atmosphere and the back area is ideal for hosting festivals and events. They are open from 6pm to midnight during the week and is definitely worth a visit! Be sure to check out their Facebook page for more information.

I had noticed the pub a few times and decided to check out their website and reviews. The simple and appealing menu seemed to be well liked. Unfortunately, when I visited the pub, it was still recovering from a Beer Festival the previous day. After some thought, we decided to go with either pie and mash or beef stew for our meal. It took a while for our meals to arrive and when they did, we found the food to be very basic. The pie seemed to be store-bought and reheated in a microwave, resulting in tough and leathery pastry. Sorry to say, Don, while the pub may be great for drinks and fun, it wasn't quite our taste for a meal.

I stopped going to pubs when they all turned into wine bars full of yuppie wannabes and Laura Ashley curtains. No life, no soul, just dreamers. So stumbling upon a place like the Yew Tree was a pleasant surprise. It's a time warp experience full of curiosities and history that will impress you. It really took me back to my youth, riding my motorcycle on weekends and stopping at a quaint pub for a ploughman's lunch and a shandy. Sometimes you feel out of place and hurriedly finish your meal to leave, but not here. The staff and regulars welcomed me warmly, a rare gesture in modern times. Will I come back? Without a doubt. The food looks scrumptious and my son claimed it was the best pint of b...

"Our room faced the front of the hotel, and while the village was quiet with only two pubs and a small corner store, it seemed to be a shortcut for heavy vehicles speeding downhill at night, with headlights constantly illuminating our room. We also found out that the hotel closes in the evening if it's not busy, and the front door may be locked as early as 10 PM, requiring a code for re-entry. The internet service was poor; even standing just outside the front door, I had no reception and couldn't call the emergency numbers posted there. It appears that the quality of the rooms varies significantly, with some having been upgraded while others are less desirable, including our own. When we questioned our bill because we didn't think the room was worth £140, we were told that since we had booked through Charming Escapes, we should take it up with them, as the hotel receives only a fraction of what we paid. This made us feel like second-class guests, especially since it seemed we were stuck in a low-quality room. The standard rate for a double room is £90, and if I were to rate our experience like on the TV show "Four in a Bed," I would say £50 a night would have been generous. Previous reviews also mentioned an issue with the door handle and the ability to lock the room, which had not been fixed. If you’re just looking for a place to dry off your hiking boots, this hotel might suffice, but I wouldn't recommend staying here again. It has a lot of potential, and thankfully, we had a wonderful evening at The Devonshire Arms just across the street—it felt like a whole different experience. It seems the staff at Charles Cotton have simply given up."
