"Started off well. Lovely old building, much more character on the inside than the outside suggests. Reminds me in a good way of how pubs used to be. Shame the woman running in was just downright rude. Seems to be a theme running through other reviews. The barmaid was lovely and friendly. The place was quite full with nowhere obvious to sit. There was an area with four tables with the lights off so I asked the barmaid if she could turn them on, and she happily agreed. Sat down at the table and a rude and unpleasant woman came over and told us we couldn 't sit there, they weren 't using the room tonight, and we 'd have to sit somewhere else. No smile, no apology, no pleasant words. As we 're walking out of the area confused wondering where the hell to sit, I said quite loudly care to suggest somewhere? and the woman turned back and said there 's a large table through there , directing us into a cramped back bar occupied by a group of locals who obviously weren 't happy at being intruded upon. My partner was really upset by this point so we ended up leaving our drinks and walking out. I 've drunk at all the local pubs on the back roads round here... The Knatchbull, The Bell, The Vobster, The Poacher 's, Strode Arms, The King 's Head, The Talbot... all fantastic pubs with warm, friendly staff and punters. Never found any of them less than pleasant and welcoming. Never had a problem in any of them. Never had reason not to wholeheartedly recommend any of them. The Wagon and Horses is a whole different story and I wouldn 't go back if you paid me."

"Booked with booking.com and not disappointed. Had a four poster bed which was really comfortable and spacious. Jaunty slope to floor which was great given age of property. Large room, able to open 2 windows and fan also provide. Loved the huge deep chest at bottom of bed. Unsure why there were wet patches on carpet though-possibly spot cleaned by housekeeping? Would have stayed another night but room was already booked. Curved staircase added to the character of the hotel. Although no hotel parking there is a public car park behind the hotel-$6.50 all day, free 6pm-9am, blue badge holders free. Back entrance to hotel off this car park, couldn’t be easier. Easy reception checked in early as room ready. Drop keys off in box on leaving. Toiletries supplied, tea/coffee making facilities and large bottle of water in room. Ate dinner in hotel, tasty and good choice. Breakfast included again tasty and good choice. Could do with more staff in evening as the 2 waiters were rushed off their feet. On leaving asked to pay by one when we had already paid the other. Waiter could have better knowledge of drinks or have a drinks menu for customers. Restaurant had some good artwork painted onto wall as did Jack Horners corner a nice little seating area over flagstone floor from bar seating. Will definitely stay again in four poster bedroom, did have a peek at others in morning as being cleaned and lots of different size rooms of good size. We didn’t stay in the nuns cell or the confessional but loved the names."

"We are ashamed to admit that it 's been several months since our last visit, but the meal last night was excellent, so we will not be away for so long until our next visit. We all opted for Steaks, our wives went for 8oz Ribeye, medium rare, whereas us guys opted for the hearty 16oz TBone rare. The pub was busy and we are aware that they have a very small kitchen and I guess our food was served about half an hour after ordering, but as always, very much worth the weight. Steaks were cooked to perfection, every time we have we always say, that was the best steak so far , again, it was the same last night. Even the fact that the plates are full, hot, we plenty of peas. Chips and the onions were cooked to perfection. To see four empty plates, apart from the TBone says it all. We all went for pudding, which I regret, as my stomach was too full, so I gave half of mine away to my friend. But again, these puddings were all delicious, between us we had, treacle sponge pudding with custard, apple crumble cake with Chantilly cream and a Limoncello sponge pudding with ice cream and berries. Thought this was lacking in flavour. But was still a good pudding. It was also nice to see that the rickety furniture has been replaced with more robust pieces and that the lighting appeared to be more brighter. A much more comfortable than before, not that this really put us of. All of the above with plenty to drink, that left you with a bursting stomach, for less that £100 is still good value for money. We 'll be back!!"
