Friendly welcome. Characterful room with good quality tea tray. Great breakfast. Unfortunately the room was not overly clean and the bathroom in particular was tired, run down and felt grubby. Black and dirty sealant around the outside of shower. Broken tiles on floor, broken loo roll holder, grubby and badly marked walls and thick dust/grime on skirting. With a deep clean and a little maintenance this could be a great place to stay.

Our limited time at the Stag on the River was greatly appreciated and enjoyed. Matt made a great impression and went out of his way to point out a hidden gem trail to the elevated farmland. Wish we had more time to stay longer.

Lovely place, friendly staff, well located for exploring nearby attractions. Cosy room above the pub. Bathroom is very clean and modern. Very quiet at night. The pub's restaurant serves good food, though I believe the pub is the only dining option in the village. Would stay here again next time I'm in the area.

Fabulous location. Evening meal excellent...breakfast left a bit to be desired...service poor. BUT...the host took the cost of breakfast off the bill without being asked. She recognised the issues before i raised them.....so 10/10 for that!

If you haven't tried this reasonably priced hotel/ restaurant you are in for a treat. Better than average restaurant and excllent service on a busy Saturday night. The rooms may be small but have great character. Last - but not least - check out the Bar Snacks and nibbles menu for an afternoon treat.
