Staff are great, Indian chef is excellent. Location is great, we would stay again. Extremely good with dogs and good set up with a seperate area for families if they choose to use it.
Very welcoming Roy and his staff were lovely . The Old well is very old ,so quirky and unusual. The beds were very comfy and the bedding and towels were of excellent quality. Toiletries provided and the food was also excellent .Breakfast had local ingredients and was very good.
We had the four poster room at the front and it was huge and well furnished . Will definitely be back

Good value stay in historic pub
Nice historic old pub near centre of town. The room was very spacious with a massive bathroom. However, I found the bed far too soft for me and uncomfortable. Breakfast was good. Overall reasonable value.
Lovely welcome, great breakfast, room was an excellent size as we had two dogs.
There was no food available on the night of our stay but the staff recommended an alternative
Marvellous .We stayed there numerous times now
Its old fashioned but it has all the amenities
Bedrooms and bathrooms are huge
The breakfasts are lovely. They cant do enough for you.I have intolerances which they catered for. The only downside is the breakfast is 9am and earlier, 10am would be brilliant but i will still go again without a doubt x
Booked a family room from the images did not get either of the pictures room was a tiny shower which was not a relaxing experience. Spoke to the person that booked me in and they responded by saying that the hotel was fully booked so no alternative. Complained to the manager through hotel . Com and they responded by saying that the pictures are random and it was unfortunate that I got that room and if I was to visit again to ring them first to see if a different room was available! No thank you not a good experience and I don’t like to complain but when you expect something like a picture it’s disappointing when you get something far less than expected
We were in a spacious, well-appointed room and bathroom. Dog-friendly, for an extra charge per dog. Excellent real ale; I loved the Timothy Taylors Landlord. Excellent Indian food, and breakfast. Friendly landlord. Recommended and would stay again!
It is a very old building so obviously the stairs are narrow and steep which would be difficult for some people.
The fixtures are very tired. Whilst the bedding was spotless the heater in the room was covered in thick dust and I was scared to use it in case it caught fire.
