Lovely welcome on arrival the staff were always to hand and looked after all our needs. Tasty breakfast well cooked and plentiful. Comfortable bed and despite being in a room facing the road we weren't disturbed and had an excellent nights sleep. Comfy bar and tasty bar meals.

To arrive for early check in and the receptionist didn’t know we’d booked early check in despite ringing days before. Paid and still our room wasn’t ready in time. In the reception there was a Labrador lovely, but spitting up food all on the floor and wasn’t cleared up at all. Food wasn’t great, greasy cold breakfast. Not a place I would return to for the price.

The redeeming factor of this old property is the Staff. They quite simply work their sock of to make your stay bearable, problem is the place is stuck in a time warp and needs drastic remedial action. The photos on site look marvellous, but in reality the place is run down. Food is of a very reasonable quality and the drinks selection are very good, but I like comfort not quirky.

Nice stay, bed comfy, very helpful staff and owner. Great location Only slight negative is they take a £50 pre authorisation on bank card for room and 2 weeks on it’s still pending on bank balance.

I had one complaint & that was there was dog mess in the car park far corner which was obviously old & some had been trodden in. Otherwise the room was clean, quite spacious & plenty of tea & coffee. The bathroom was clean & tidy with plenty of fresh towels. The breakfast was delicious & the staff were extremely friendly.

Room was moldy and dank. Smelled horrible and we left immediately. Highly recommend Sherwood Forest area and Major Oak, but this place should be condemned.

Quirky pub with lots of different little areas of seating. Nice big car park and small outdoor seating area. Lots to do in the area. Just needs more staff, every time we wanted a drink or to order food we had to go looking for staff. Cooked breakfast was on the small side for portion and quite a long wait both to order and food to arrive. Evening staff were very friendly and bar meals good value. Room was a little noisy from bar below until closing time. Bed was comfy and room well equipped.
