Lack of Customer Service
Check in took 15 minutes due to Manager standing 3 metres away training new waiting staff. Waited for 5 minutes to be seated although both new waiting team were standing 5 metres away and did not even bother to engage with me. I left and went back to my room. The bedroom was very nice until i got into bed, the most uncomfortable mattress i have ever slept in.

Decent room and food. Terrible WIFI in the room. Connection kept dropping out. For me this is important. So will not be visiting again.

Utter rubbish!!
We got there after a 3 1/2hr drive to a cramped cabin that was not as clean as we would have liked, grubby bathroom & cigarette burns in the throw on the bed. What made it worst was the shower cutout after one of us briefly used it after a long trip. This was not fixed though a plumber was called due to not having the right part. We ended up washing in the tea-cup of a sink we had. Nothing has been done to date despite reporting it on check out. I would not be going back anytime soon.

Property was lovely, restaurant and bar were clean and bright. Rooms were clean and well decorated. Freebies were also really nice. With the warm wether a fan would have been nice in our room, our friends next door had one but when asked at reception no one knew where to get one. Bed was a little hard but for 1 nights stay was okay. Would stay again just as overnight but wouldn't recommend for long stays! The room was also right opposite a function which luckily ended early but trying to nap through the day with the windows open because of hot weather was slightly difficult. Overall would rate 7.5/10

Great pub, bad management
Great location, good staff who make you feel very welcome. My stay, was tainted by the manager. Never heard anyone talk to their team like he did. Completely shocking and I would be shocked if they dont have a staff retention issue.

Disappointing
One night stay, the room was clean but dusty plastic plants. The bath seal leaked so the floor floods when using over bath shower, despite closing the shower curtain as instructed. Glass shelf above sink not secured so collapsed as soon as a toothbrush was placed on it, fortunately didn’t smash. We went to the bar to eat at 7pm, ordered a pint of cider- no problem but ordering a pint of beer took three attempts to find one they had in stock. We got dinner menus and enquired about the pie advertised on blackboards outside and inside the bar but they had sold out- at 7pm. There is an extensive menu, we sat in cosy alcove with our drinks while we chose - chicken wings and pork steak… neither were available. We tried to order three more main courses, each time the lady had to come back to say they were unavailable, so we had mushrooms on toast from the starter menu with a side order of fries which amazingly they seemed to have. Both average. Breakfast equally disappointing there were 4 options but 2 were unavailable, we ordered bacon egg and tomatoes but there had no tomatoes despite them being offered as part of the full English. The cleaning staff were hoovering the room around us while we ate and the toilets were out of action. The staff we met were friendly but we felt were embarrassed and frustrated, creating a tense atmosphere and we overheard many angry sounding conversations. Overall disappointing -the pictures online look so inviting, we wont be back.

Relaxing stay
The accomodation was separate from the main building which made it very quiet. Over the road was a church so you had the bells of the clock to wake you up, if your windows were open. The room was relaxing with a good en suite and a good heater if you were feeling cold. The pub part had a comfortable lounge bar area, with a large new addition for the restaurant part. The village was small with a few shops.

Lack of clean room was a worry
This review is a Covid era review so bare this in mind. On arrival a young had the job of showing me my room and that’s literally all he did... The room was a good size with a good bathroom. It was disappointing that the sink taps and round the shower obviously hadn’t been cleaned from the previous guest and the table in the room was super sticky, again not been cleaned. Because of Covid I cleaned them myself. Dinner was ok, service was very slow until I pointed this out then it got going. The food was ok... The highlight of the stay was the breakfast, freshly cooked with excellent coffee. Would I stay there again or recommend it, maybe.

Basic
No reception, just a key in a lock box. Just a room in a bungalow, no special comfort, basic cleanness, some rust in the bathroom.

Thank you for taking the time to highlight the points in your review, we are currently in the process of having some work done in our rooms. We would have loved for this to be done during the time we were closed however this was not possible. I do hope you will come back to us again soon to have a look at what has been done.

Knife and Cleaver
The rooms at the Knife and cleaver are clean and well equipped. The colour of the décor does leave it feeling a bit closed in, but this is a minor problem. The bar next door is excellent and the food was very good. Unfortunately Food was not available no Monday and Tuesday due to Covid cut backs, but there are plenty of places only a short drive away.

We liked the pub and restaurant, but unfortunately the decor in the rooms we found to be depressing and in need of an update. The mattress was really uncomfortable, the blind did not work properly and there was no curtain at the front door. The staff were accommodating and the above can be fixed, but travellers should be aware that the bells in the church opposite strike every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day.

Lovely food - shame about the room
Nice looking local pub serving fantastic food. Rooms need a little bit more thought. Decor very dark, lighting needs addressing. Bed uncomfortable hard mattress no headboard. Kettle left with water in which had limescale floating around. Lots of limescale in shower area. Most staff friendly but not particularly attentive, at breakfast no plates for toast, empty orange juice jug wasn't refilled. All put right when asked but be better not to have yo ask! Had an evening meal and 2 breakfasts which were fantastic. 5 stars to the chef

Useful things to know. Wi fi is only in the main pub building rooms are across a courtyard in separate building. TV reception is poor with only 3 or 4 channels available this may have been due to weather and improved when the weather does. Expected more from breakfast after eating in the restaurant in the evening.
