Lovely pub and decent room
The room was off a court yard, it was a double room with sofa bed and was adequate size with a small private entrace hall, with the room and bathroom off it. Handy for kicking shoes and coats off and leaving there. The bathroom and room were large. The batroom had a separate bath and shower, the bath was a little dusty and the fittings a little dated but it was clean other wise. The room was clean, comfortable bed and adequate drinks making facilities. The pub served a lovely evening meal and breakfast. It was dog friendly - but not ott, no fuss made of dog or treats or water bowls that I saw. But definately dog tolerant.
We only spent a night and we didnt really user any of the facilities outside of the room/chalet... but what we did use was excellent. Would definitely go again!
The accommodation was very spacious (bigger than a lot lot of hotel rooms). There was a good selection of reasonably priced meals for dinner, which were also good portions. Vegetarian options also available. Ian was very friendly and helpful. Good breakfast the next morning was also very good. Well worth the stay. Thank you.

Good points: dog friendly, friendly staff, good food at a reasonable price, clean and tidy.
Not so good: Our bathroom needed a complete revamp. Traffic noise from the main road.
We really enjoyed our stay. The location is very convenient along A12 for visiting different places in the local area but we did not hear any road noise. Room 3, the family room, was very spacious with 3 beds and plenty of space for the whole family. Good TV service with lots of streaming services available. The bathroom also very large with a great shower but also a bath which is handy with a family. Good temperature. Furniture showing a few imperfections but more than adequate for the price. No hairdryer in room but sent husband I to the pub to get one and they gave me a new one (would have been annoyed if alone though)
We had dinner first night which we really enjoyed. The burger was excellent and although some Italians are probably rolling in their graves somewhere, I also really enjoyed the not very authentic pizza - really tasty with lots of toppings. Coffee and adnams beer/wine excellent too.
Cooked breakfast was very good with great sausages and eggs cooked to liking. Excellent coffee served. I would prefer a lighter option like avacado on toast or something.
I forgoed breakfast on day 2 as checkout so early (10.30am) and had to get my two daughters ready for the day. The girls really liked the playground on site.
Overall a ver enjoyable stay.

Spacious clean rooms, staff friendly. Food really good and reasonably priced. Great location
We stayed in this lovely Pub/Inn and would do so again. The staff were all wonderful and friendly. The room could not be better - large bedroom with a huge bathroom that had both a shower and a bathtub as separate facilities. It was spotlessly clean, quiet and very comfortable. It was easy access on the ground level. There was a table seating arrangement outside our door so we could sit out for a pleasant drink in the evening.
The food and drink were outstandingly good. We would happily stay here again.
