Friendly, Immaculate, Perfect for Oulton

Brilliantly friendly village local pub with clean rooms and great food. Super warm welcome from the couple who run it, and a less than 10 min walk to Oulton Park. The room decor is a little dated, but it is exceptionally clean and has everything you need. I’ll definitely be back.

One night stay

The new owners are very friendly as are the staff. Our evening meal was excellent. I had the gammon and asked if I could have mash instead of chips which I got and it was beautiful. Hubby had chicken salad and it was also excellent. We really enjoyed our one night stay.

Friendly helpful staff, and a convenient location. No breakfast currently available (due to COVID?), but the listing still says "Breakfast available (pay at the property)" - so had to go elsewhere for breakfast.

Nice staff. Rooms and infrastructure very tired.

Nice staff. Rooms and infrastructure very tired. Real issue is room smelt of vomit. One bed in particular appeared to be the source of the issue which became unbearable once covers were taken back. How could they not notice? Evening food good portions but basic. Breakfast ok, but tea & coffee not to standard. At £140/ night could do better.
