We stayed for one night whilst visiting family, all staff were really friendly, Rob’s food was really good, the beef and ale pie was the best I’ve had, great portions too. The pub is in a peaceful location, with lovely gardens. Highly recommend, we will definitely stay here again 😊

I’ve eaten here regularly for the past couple of years. I’ve left positive reviews as the food has been excellent. Called in yesterday for lunch and I was disappointed. I wasn’t particularly hungry and just ordered a chicken wrap. It looked okay but was actually dry and tasteless. My friend just ordered some chips. They were not cooked to the point of being hard in the middle. We were not asked how are meal was so we left feeling very disappointed. Come on wool pack, you can do better than this!

What a cheek. I paid a £54 50% deposit for a room in cash after having a few drinks here some weeks ago and asking my wife if she wanted a date night stay. Unfortunately due to break ins of cars in the road, mine and my daughters cars had there drivers window smashed I had to cancel 24hrs early . So I rang them and some lady who answered had the cheek to ask for the remainder of the room price as I was not cancelling within 48hrs. Good job I paid in cash. I won't be coming back.... Ever..... and I will make sure I let friends and family know. Unbelievable.
Hi Shannon,
Thank you for taking the time to respond to my review. I understand that cancellation policies are necessary, and I appreciate your explanation. However, my frustration stemmed from the unexpected nature of the situation I was in, having to deal with car break-ins just 24 hours before my planned stay. It was an unusual and stressful circumstance, and I had hoped for a bit more understanding at that moment.
While I now understand that the option to move the booking to a different date may have been possible, it was not clearly communicated during my call. I felt that the response I received lacked empathy given the challenging situation I was facing, which led to my decision to share my experience.
I have edited this review on the response I had from Shannon. My initial rating was based on exasperation, rather than facts which I apologise for. I appreciate independent business need revenue like this post Covid but small businesses usually stem from a culture of experience and lessons learnt. Always have these teachings in place from day 1.

Met for a pre Christmas lunch with family. I had the Blade of Beef- delicious, hubby had duck breast- lovely but small portion - not whole breast which was disappointing. Desserts were really good, service was excellent. We'll definitely be back!
