If you have children particularly young children I would definetly avoid this pub and not give it a second thought, if you are looking for a family friendly place for lunch, dinner or drinks this is definitely not the place for you.
My experience having gone for lunch with my 3 year old an partner was horrible I left feeling very unwelcome and quite upset.
My 3 year old daughter was told that she is being 2 loud and that she would have to leave by a member of staff. The staff member did not approach myself or my partner and ask us to leave or ask to be quite instead approached her and told her off for being loud. I was sitting close by watching her she had wondered round to the table next to us (at this point the place was empty why she couldn't wonder round empty tables I'm unsure of)
I was quite upset by what had just happened and instantly felt we was not wanted there so I hurried her out of the place as quick as I could while my partner was still in the toilets.
On our drive home I explained what had happened to my partner and he sent a polite message to the owner stating we had a lovely lunch and how nice the food was and then explained how we treated at the end after we had paid.
The owners response was was quite sarcastic and shocking. She agreed with what had happened and how we were treated and even said she would not have put up with it for as long as the staff did.
What she was referring to as put up with it is noise from a 3 year old and her wondering around an empty pub.
To sum this review up the food is nice but the atmosphere and staff are not nice and this pub is definitely not child friendly/family friendly.
The quote the mangers own words, it is what it is and I'm just...

I genuinely believed they were all part owners as they all have a true sense of care toward guests and the service in which they provide. ||The rooms are super clean and modern. They were cleaned daily to the highest of standards. A personalised welcome letter on arrival letter emphasised the home from home feel. ||The food was AMAZING!!!||Huge shout to the morning staff. Best breakfast I have had in a long time.||In a nut shellā¦. I will definitely be returning and would strongly recommend to anyone who requires accommodation in the area to not look any further. ||The only down side is there are only 5 rooms so be quick to book or miss out. ||To the owners š you really have smashed it, and as a business owner myself you are very lucky to have such dedicated staff. ||WELL DONE ALL. and see...
