Stayed and dined here for three nights just after Christmas and will 100% do it again. Adam and his team were exceptionally welcoming from the get go. Real good country hospitality. I did the MTB, accommodation and food deal - and it was great value Accommodation was basic but for someone who was mountain biking all day, I didn't need much but a peaceful place to rest after a big day on the trails. The food from the pub was delicious, every... single...time and was more than enough to replenish the energy spent riding the local trails. Aircon worked well, shared bathrooms (still seperate male/female) were not a problem with plenty of privacy.
I’ve been staying here for work and I honestly can’t fault this place. The staff are extremely welcoming and make you feel at home straight away. The accommodation is comfortable, clean, and perfect after a long day on the job. The food is excellent — great pub meals and generous portions. It’s a solid, reliable place to stay when working in the area. Highly recommend. Five out of five stars.
Great food, excellent service. We had the seafood basket, pizza and bruchetta. A little pricey, but I'd say worth it as we went back the next night also. Thank you!
Lovethis pub it has a wonderful meal menu . The food was great, and all the staff were very welcoming and are up for a talk
Friendly staff, good food, neat outdoor area and on the day we were there, live music. Kid friendly with a playground next to place.
Amazing service, great food and a cute small town vibe! Loved every minute of it!
Been here 3 times whilst staying at Neem Hall, lovely food and you can bring your well behaved dog into the beer garden whilst having lunch. This is the only reason we went there initially. Friendly staff too👍👍👍
Was here for the restaurant, which ppl recommend for the pies. Tried the pies, chicken asparagus and pork something, loved the pork one. Really nice. We also tried the pizza, pizza was also very good. I would recommend it as well. 🙂
