Quirky, old friendly pub.

Beautiful, quirky old building with a lovely pub downstairs. The staff we encountered were very friendly and polite. Note that it can be challenging to drive there if you follow certain phone directions like we did! But when we left we were told an easier way to leave the immediate area and that was so much better.

The Friar's Rest

Had a brilliant few nights at The Weary Friar. We stayed in The Friar’s Rest, which is a separate cottage just next to the pub. Really peaceful and quiet — perfect for switching off. The cottage was spotless, well looked after, and had everything we needed, including a proper kitchen (though we mostly ate at the pub!). Breakfast was great every morning — decent portions and really good quality. We had dinner there a couple of times as well — can highly recommend the fish and chips. The pub itself is really welcoming, with a nice atmosphere, and the staff were lovely — friendly, helpful, and made everything easy from the moment we arrived. The surrounding area is beautiful, proper countryside. Plenty of parking too, and it was easy to find. All in all, a great little break — would definitely go back.

Lovely place and village and although we were eating out the meal options looked good and the breakfast was lovely. Downside, difficult getting a taxi, got one in the end but definitely pre book taxi as early as you can, other occasions, I wouldn’t of needed a taxi, only a minor thing this, would stay again though

Really quite enjoyed this little pub stay. Tuesday night is bell ringing practice at the neighboring church until nine so parking is a premium if arriving late. Busy friendly place with an awesome breakfast.

Lovely , comfortable stsy. We arrived very early but were able to buy ourselves a breakfast and were given a key for when we returned from a family wedding nearby. The staff were absolutely brilliant.
Suzanne, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A village inn in essence, bigger than expected, well looked after and clean with pleasant, helpful staff. Plenty of parking and quiet. Good bar choice and would stay there again. The only slight letdown was the Sunday roast lunch which was over-cooked and tasted and looked like it had been kept warm for hours. The other meals were adequate.
