I was unfortunate enough to choose the this pub's B&B facilities for an overnight stay last weekend. The facilities were totally inadequate. Two wobbly hangars in a rather shaky wardrobe ,no shelves or towel rail in the bathroom, where there were notices to advise of problems with the loo and hot water, there was a used piece of soap on the basin.. Two pieces of rubbery bread to toast for breakfast. There was only one bedside table. We arrived to very cold room even though we had booked well ahead. There was half a baguette left in the chest of drawers with some tired looking blueberries. I could write more but this should warn anyone NOT to contemplate staying in this dreary place.
The cost of £65 was 5 more than we had been quoted and totally ridiculous for what was provided.

It's quieter than it used to be but it's still a nice little boozer

My local, not every bodies choice but I like it, quiet pleasant surroundings to enjoy a number of real ales. Only the very occasional chav element endured.

Popped in for a beer during the Xmas break, decent range of bitters but the pub is a bit on the quiet side for me no atmosphere

I like this pub and found the bar staff to be really nice, it is a bit on the quiet side but has a great menu good beer and a lovely garden.

Older persons pub, agree with previous comments about bar staff - they definiately aren't female friendly! Okay for a quiet night out but not top of my list for fun venues.

I was expecting something a little more up market in Mayford, prefer the Mayford Arms, at least the bar staff in there can be bothererd to serve you! The bar staff in this pub are either rude or man mad!

Pleasant enough pub, very relaxing atmosphere. Most of the clientelele are 45+, ideal if you're looking for a Quiet pint. Reasonable selection of ales.
If your looking for something lively then look elsewhere.
