We are just home from a one night stay last night with our family (who live all over the UK, so this is our annual get-together). Granted, we were a group of 11, so this could have been a challenge in such a small setting. However, it was not. The staff were polite, attentive, and really warming. One particular member of staff who served us our evening meal and breakfast this morning, was so lovely (I unfortunately did not catch her name, but understand she had a hearing impairment - not that you would know). She deserves recognition. She could not do enough for us. She was extremely sweet, apologetic if we had to ask for things, i.e., sauces or more tea, etc. She went out of her way to make our toast racks this morning, when we could have all done it individually and kept asking if we needed anything else. We were seated in a lovely little room to the right of the bar, where it was just enough to fit us on one long table, without any other guests around. This made it feel very personal. The breakfast was lovely with great portion sizes and cooked using quality meats. We would have all loved to have seen pineapple juice on the selection. You can also do a 'build your own breakfast.' Continental and menu included in breakfast price. Continental has lots of options available (fresh fruit, yoghurts, pan au chocolat, toast with several bread choices, juice, cereal, natural yoghurt, and fresh muesli. Allergies option available on request. Our evening meal was lovely. However, we were not asked how it was. That would have been nice as we would have been able to pass on compliments to the chef and a remark that everything was lovely. The pies were crammed full of lovely fillings (one of my family members ordered the Homity pie and would have liked more of the cheese flavouring to come through over the onion), yet there were no complaints across the table (other than one of our party who found the lamb from the 'A La Carte' menu was a smaller serving than he would have liked but this may be the intended size due to the menu it was on). We all discussed that the portion sizes of chips that come with the burgers and pies could have been a little more generous. The puddings were unreal. From homemade sticky toffee pudding with crisp caramel toppings, homemade custard to a lovely cheese board, and various other treats and coffee. We were all content. My husband particularly liked the choice of IPA and lots of various wine labels and gin were enjoyed between us. The rooms were very clean. Excellent quality towels, robes and products. The box of biscuits was a nice touch to the tea tray. It was a strange yet quirky experience for the whole group to be taken around the village (each a stones throw away from the restaurant), by various members of staff to our rooms upon check-in. Some of us in a large house opposite the pub, some in what looks like a Victorian school building and the others were upstairs above the restaurant. No complaints from the rooms,
