Just stayed one night bed and breakfast for a family party. Had a warm welcome and prompt service. Our room was warm, clean and comfortable. The breakfast was lovely and tasty, had a choice of cereals and cooked breakfast was made to order. Overall very pleasant stay, would be happy to stay again.

When I want a relaxed country pub meal I go to this place. They have British food very well cooked with French influences, and a nice selection of ales. I specially liked the bison steak with a creamy sauce, and the Camembert starter. The service is friendly, and the atmosphere is very nice and relaxed. The portions are pretty big,... More

Recently stayed for 2 nights in March 2013, and overall the stay was nothing short of fantastic. It was bitterly cold outside, but the room (no.10) was toasty warm in the morning and when we returned in the afternoon & evening. The room had everything you could want from a B&B, clean room, comfy bed, hot & powerful shower, towels,... More

Didn't stay in room but felt I had to write to praise the food. Good home cooked food with very generous portions served by friendly staff. Relaxed pleasant atmosphere in village pub. Some parking at side of pub.

The food in the huntsman was spellbinding to say the least, a great variety of dishes and very generous and appreciated vegetarian options, the staff were more than happy to tweak the menu swapping the salad served with a main with veg instead without even a murmur - those small touches go a long way. The food was delicious and... More

This is a traditional pub with a friendly welcome. We ate here for my Mum's Birthday and they put a candle in my Mum's lunch! The food was superb; beautifully presented and absolutely scrummy. The portion size was generous too. The staff are very welcoming and friendly, this is def worth a visit. We will be back!
