"Very relaxed and comfortable hotel. Owners/hosts were wonderful, very open and chatty, chef (an owner) was superb. Highly recommended . Excellent location for walking into town or up onto the hills, no taxis required! Stunning scenery. Really enjoyed our stay. Nearby activities: Great for local walks but be prepared for a lot of “ups” but worthwhile for stunning views. Walks well signposted. Walkability: Very central location to town and local walks, but it is hilly!!! Food drinks: Dinner was excellent. Rooms: 4 Service: 5 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Luxury, Great view, Quiet"

"I 've been to this pub several times since it has got new ownership and each time I have left severely disappointed. I have given it a fair try each time but rude staff, refusal to serve you unless you are a regular who are allowed to stay for lock ins whilst everyone else is turfed out before the pub closes and charging on entry for live music for a local pub is obscene. The attitude of staff when even just asking for water was appalling, and needs a severe shake up. Cant comment on the food, but with wetherspoons down the road I doubt many are eating there anyways. Won 't be going back anytime soon."

"We dined here on Wednesday evening we decided to share a starter , we had the Mulled Pear salad with Stilton walnuts. This was a really nice starter the salad was fresh a tossed in olive oil i have to say that they did not scrimp on the Stilton or the Walnuts as some other restaurants would do. we would score the starter 10/10 really good.For mains we both had the Pork loin Belly Pork this came with green beans Mashed potato. The Pork Loin was served on some cabbage with bacon lardens , this was a very nice touch different to what we had been served in the past. The belly pork was fine shame it did not crackle a little more but it still was a very nice meal . In previous visits we have had the pork loin served with a stick or two of crackling, if they had done that it would have been perfection.We know it is under new owners we were a bit concerned that the food might be not as good.... But this is not the case at all, in fact i would say they are being a little more imaginative .The service is still very good the staff are very polite helpful. They also still use the Gourmet Society card which is an added bonus. A very nice meal service Thanks!!"

"the vegan options available here are clear and deliberately part of the menu reviews, not only a reflection (as in, not only a non-vegan meal with meat and milk that leaves a completely unsatisfactory result). the service was brilliant, like all the meals we had (me man and I had lunch, dinner and brunch the next day). the owner was clearly proud of the available options, but asked us our opinion about them, and what else would we like to see on the menu. what can they require more than a device that likes to receive feedback and improve where possible?"

"Travelling past and decided to stop for Sunday lunch. As we had not booked in advance. There was some worry from the bar staff that kitchen capacity would not be able to fit us in for at least 30 mins. We initially decided that we would finish our drinks and go somewhere else as we had a 3 hour drive ahead of us to return home. However, on my second sip of my pint (a very nice Butty Bach) a waitress popped over and said they can fit us in. We were asked if we would like to go through to the restaurant area. We actually asked if we could stay where we where, as I had, dare I say a very comfy seat in the corner. This was not a problem and the waitress quickly brought cutlery to us. Orders taken. We awaited our food. I had a starter. The Glouscester old spot pork belly. Very nice it was as well. The mains arrived. Beef for the wife and lamb for myself. This I will make the first criticism of the meal. The waitress asked how would we like the meat cooked. Medium rare for the beef an medium for the lamb. Now I will admit, from what we asked for it was quite overcooked. But as it looked like it came from a joint, 2 big slices each. I can't but wonder how the kitchen can truly cook to order. Meat still lovely but just a wonder. Veg very nicely cooked (parsnips really nice) and all was well until the Yorkshire pudding. Which is my second criticism. Nothing wrong with it. But my Mother in Law is from deepest darkest Yorkshire and just in case she reads this, they were no where near as good as hers! Overall a very nice meal and really glad we decided to stop. All the staff were friendly and welcoming and attentive, without being in your face. If we ever happen to be in that neck of the woods again. We would definitely pop in again."
