We were made very welcome by the staff and the customers. We had great crack and the Murphys was very nice. Thank you for your hospitality.

06/01/2026: Dreadful. Emailed hotel with photos of how dirty our room alone was. Dirty towel put out for us to use Hairs in shower tray. Shower glass all water marks. Under cups dirty tray mats and tray Same in bathroom. No room service card for door. Skin got a reaction from bathroom products. Beds very uncomfortable. Floor would have been better. Room cold. Tea bags werent toped up on second day. One white towel had brown stains on it and was left out as a clean one. Also how terrible staff was at dinner. Letting napkins fall and walking passed it. Half cleaning tables. Food on ground under table. Restaurant cold. Slow service. Staff looking miserable. Restaurant staff standing around talking annoying us waiting to be seated. Can only add 10 photos but there more. Checking out no body on reception

19/11/2025: Delightful local pub we stopped for lunch at after touring the forts. Service was excellent and friendly. Food was beyond what you would expect for pub food. We had the Huntsman burger which was handmade right down to the patty. Delicious. The daily roast was pork loin, and also excellent. Last two dishes were Bangers and Mash, and the BBQ Chicken, again, stupendous. Portions are grand, and the smell when it comes out, well, that's why the pictures are what they are. So well done, this is a gem of a place.

31/10/2025: The best French coffee of all time!

01/10/2025: Best Fish and Chips in the Village

02/01/2026: The chicken burger was excellent. Good portions. Great location.

24/08/2025: The beef burger off the kids menu was dreadful. My son said he didn't like it so I tried it. It was terrible. Mentioned it to waiter at end of meal. When she returned she said the chef said there was nothing wrong with it!!! They didn't charge for it. All the other food was good.

19/01/2026: Great coffee and food, super freindly staff

29/08/2025: The staff is very helpful, knowledgeable and efficient. The food is delicious, I’ve had my daily sausage roll with marmalade and it doesn’t disappoint! Various varieties. More seating would be nice, but no t a deal breaker.
