Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“I reserved a table in the Loft for 10 people. From the moment we walked in, nothing was too much trouble. Alex (bar manager?) treated us like VIPs. Superb decor, great atmosphere, reasonable prices. Played a game of darts and wathced the FA cup final.. they even allowed us to bring in some food from a nearby chippy. All the lads commented on what a great place it was and we had a fantastic afternoon. We’ll be back soon!”
“Lovely country pub, with large choice of beers/drinks. Staff and locals are really friendly. There is an outside drinking area, and dogs are really welcome inside and out. We didn't eat there but the menu looked good. We will be going back.”
