+ Ceaser and Gareth were amazing hosts. Ceasers cooking is exceptional. The bar and facilities around the bar are great. Was very communal and the first night we meet a lot of new people and had fun.

- The room was very dirty and bug ridden. The facilities with the exception of the bar area are very dilapidated and need some tidying up. We knew it would be rustic but at least make sure your guests are comfortable in their rooms we paid quite a bit for. And the rooms are tidy. The windows had a layer of dirt on them. There was an old hifi compartment thing, when I opened it I smelt death.

+ Returned after a few years because we enjoyed it so much last time. Had a really good time again. Gareth was really accommodating as we had no plan and hadn't booked anything in advance.

+ Loved the vibe and venue. Staff were mostly.friendly and helpful

- The room stairs to the bathroom were steep and had no rails to hold on to,which was difficult for my elderly parents who stayed 1 night of the 2 booked. On booking, I couldn't the actual room, was told.it had guests in, but I was assured that it would be suitable for them. It wasn't, but the manager (Guy?) offered a voucher for a 1 night stay fir early 2026, which I'm happy to accept. All in all, I do like the place.
