Bed wasn't horizontal it followed the slope of the floor which made the foot end significantly higher than the head end. The owner and staff member used some wooden placemats to raise the headend but it wasn't high enough and we ended up having to sleep with our head at the foot end. Mattress was very uncomfortable as were the pillows. Insufficient cooling provided by one fan . We couldn't leave windows open as there weren't any safety chains on them and they were easily accessible from the outside. The nighttime temperature didn't drop under 29c . Toilet seat was broken. Had a shower and discovered there wasn't any soap in the dispenser. Dusty windowsills and a headboard that you could write your name in the dust across the top. Cobweb from wall to wardrobe and another one across a window frame. We booked two nights accommodation but after one unbearable night we checked out and found more suitable accommodation elsewhere.Would not stay here again and wouldn't recommend this to anyone else.

There was a revolting smell in the car park which we think was from an overflowing septic tank. On the Friday the loud music from the bar, which we could clearly hear in our room, went on until 11.13 p.m. keeping us awake. When we went down to breakfast on Saturday at 9.00 a.m. the door to the bar/restaurant was locked and we had to knock and wait to get in. We were told they did not know what time we would want breakfast and we should have been asked when we checked in which we were not. As other guests did not want breakfast until 10.00 a.m. they were not intending to open until then. (Hotel information states breakfast is from 8 a.m. on Saturdays). When we commented on the loud music the previous night, we were told the music had to stay on until all customers were gone. On the Saturday evening, we had friends join us for dinner. When they left at 9.50 p.m. we stepped outside to say goodbye to them. When we tried to return to the bar five minutes later, the staff had locked the doors behind us! (There were three customers still in the bar). We had to knock on the window to get back in. We were intending to have another drink before bed, but were told they were now closed - before 10 p .m. on a Saturday night!!

The food here is excellent and not too expensive. Room comfortable, and clean. Nice ambience, but teh main road can be a little noisy if you have to have the window open at night, goes quiet after 11.30.

Lovely staff and an excellent dinner. The hotel is newly owned and if this is the beginning can’t wait to see the end result. Set at the end of a beautiful village with ample parking and good road connections

Lovely place, great food, but breakfast at 8am is too late for business folks. Also the young lady waiting on hasn't tasted all the desserts, how can she advise the customers properly?

What a lovely place! Very welcoming, breakfast was excellent and the chef kindly chopped up a sausage for our dog which was a nice surprise. Our room was very spacious, ensuite shower room was fine and we had great views over fields and the river. The village is charming but be aware there are no amenities. Short drive from Stamford and Rutland Water so a great base for exploring the area. Would highly recommend.

highly disappointed having booked this accomodation for a solo traveller, to receive a call several hours later to advise that the pub would not be open as it was a monday and pin code access would be available with key for room being in door.
we were the only occupant within the hotel and it was a very unnerving experience.
fortunately our operative on that day was a male, it wouldn't have been very pleasant if it had been a female.

Located at the edge of a beautiful unspoilt village.
The only downside was in a summer with the need to have windows open the noise from the busy main road is loud.
Other than that everything was perfect for a short stay.
All staff were very friendly and helpful.
The food we ordered for our evening meal was delicious as was my full English breakfast. My wife was very pleased with her continental breakfast.
We recommend a walk through the village to the parish church and just a little further to the water mill.

Lovely rooms in a pub with a good restaurant.
Don’t expect a quiet early night or a lie-in in the morning . The music from the pub can be clearly heard in the bedroom and comes on at 8.00 and isn’t switched off until 22.00 or even 23.00. The reaction of the owner when asked to turn the music down was “don’t know what you’re used to, that’s how we do things here in the pub”!
