Visited this lovely pub restaurant on a Saturday evening. We were a family group of 6 adults, one 7 year old and 2 toddlers. We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. Lovely cosy atmosphere and the waiting staff were all lovely. The food was beautiful, from the burgers, home made pie to the exceptional ribeye steak which was cooked to perfection. We had a lovely evening and would definitely recommend you visit here. I would advise you to book as it was busy when we were there.

Food was terrible. Vegetarian option BarB Q cauliflower was cremated, burnt all the way though. Roast beef was so overcooked like shoe leather. Crème Brûlée still almost frozen and sugar topping cold. The place was not busy for a Sunday lunch. Could not fault anything else, just the quality coming out of the kitchen

Accommodation was lovely! Perfect views over the river and a brilliant breakfast. Plenty of local walks to get nice and muddy. Didn't stop for an evening meal but from what I could see everyone was sending back clean plates! Always a good sign!!!

Shabby accommodation and bad service. Awful smells emanating from the river. Would not recommend as there are so many better places nearby. Too expensive for the poor quality food and the rude staff made us leave feeling ripped off and totally underwhelmed

I visited earlier in the year for a meal with friends and left very disappointed. The meal was over priced and not very nice but worse than that was the terrible service. The staff were not at all attentive and a couple were actually quite rude. I won't be returning.

Very disappointed by the treatment from the staff, they ignored disgusting misogynistic comments from a regular they knew and instead blamed the newer customers, it was unacceptable behaviour and I felt very let down - won’t be back again

A very nice pub with good bedrooms. The staff were particularly good - friendly, helpful and attentive. The bedroom was warm and comfort with a spacious ensuite. There was a wide choice for breakfast and the food was very good. Lovely views of the river and nearby countryside.

Strong smell of sewage in the car park, unwelcoming atmosphere in the bar, slightly better in the restaurant away from the swearing. The food was well below average but this was not reflected in the price. On the whole very disappointing as we thought this establishment had upped its game.

What a find! From the moment we stepped foot through the door, the staff were so welcoming and nothing felt too much. Accommodation was lovely. We stayed in Windrush and was really self contained. We ate in the bar and thoroughly enjoyed the great food and atmosphere. Beautiful location. This little gem of a place really has managed to find the balance of accommodation and pub/restaurant facilities. Well done guys...we can't wait to visit again.
