Lovely pub/restaurant with an accommodation. Room was small, comfortable and quiet. Tea/coffee in room. Freshly cooked full English breakfast was really nice. Staff friendly and helpful. Nice outdoor areas for when the sun shines. Plenty of room to park. When we stayed the restaurant was very busy and fully booked, so recommend booking in advance to secure a table. Would happily stay here again.

Excellent place from which to start Thames Path

Caught train to Kemble, then walked here to stay overnight before starting our walk along the Thames Path. Excellent location. Clean and friendly. Evening meal and breakfast were good, although this added to the accomodation cost.

Nice traditional pub

This venue is a good old fashioned pub. The food was amazing. I had an evening meal and breakfast. The price is competitive. The only reason i marked it down slightly was the room having really thick sone walls felt a little damp. I think in summer it's bliss and once winter starts and the heating is on it will be fine.

A great place to stay with an excellent menu.

We arrived on time for a warm and very informed welcome. Booked in, key, restaurant booking and we were in our room in no time. The food and restaurant were excellent. Breakfast was entertaining as the chef was the waiter but that made for a warmer and more welcoming atmosphere.
