The Elm Tree Inn

The staff were excellent and checked us in very quickly. The ambiance in this Inn was exceptional and customers (locals from the village) were extremely friendly. Unfortunately I hadn’t explained (when booking) that I had mobility problems although I can manage stairs and steps with care). We were booked into room 4 which is up a flight of metal stairs on the outside of the property. I managed this one step at a time. The room wasn’t very big and had a step down from the hall, and a high step up to the compact shower room. There wasn’t any room to spare and it was difficult to get round the bed with two adults in the room. The bed was very low and I had difficulty getting up. We had the lighter breakfast. One porridge which was delicious but the other breakfast advertised as a choice of cereals (and to be honest there WAS a choice) but as an elderly adult I sort of expected some healthy choice - maybe weetabix, fruit and fibre or muesli. The choice of Coco Pops, Corn flakes or Rice Crispiest wasn’t the most interesting or flavoursome. The service by the staff was impeccable and on reflection I should a) have requested a disabled room and b) asked if there were any other cereals available. Overall the price of £100 just for the room and £8.95 extra for breakfast (each) was a bit too much. We were only staying one night so it was manageable but we won’t be staying again.

Cosy and comfy Cosy rooms above a lovely pub restaurant. Rooms can be a bit small but easily manageable depending on which one you get. TV's though are very small so just used my laptop on sky go as the guest WiFi is quite good.

Excellent service from everyone that we encountered. The room was perfect for all of our needs.

Marks on bed coverlet - harmless but did not create good impression. Plug missing from bathroom Otherwise fine for one-night stay. Restaurant dinner very good.

I found the shower difficult to control, found the water very hot despite doing everything to lessen the temperature. Broken slat on bedroom blind, also doorway into bathroom missing a door edge. A comfortable stay, would book again.

Good value for money. Single bedroom blind needs option to tie up when window open. Enjoyed Italian meal outside in evening. Room quite small but provides all you need for short stay.
