Reviews indicate that guests generally like the atmosphere in this pub. There are a few instances of slow service but, on the whole, guests seem to like the vibe. Guests particularly appreciate that there is a separate area for patrons who have brought their dogs with them.

Although the bedrooms don't entirely escape criticism, most guests found they offered a comfortable stay. The private entrance is appreciated as is how the rooms are sufficiently set back from the pub to ensure a quiet night.

Several guests mention that they found the late check-in time of 6pm rather prohibitive, although the pub does allow you to drop luggage off earlier. Coupled with the strict check-out time of 10am, guests sometimes feel that they have been shortchanged when it comes to paying for their room.

Reviews frequently indicate that guests are astonished by the price of the meals in the Staff of Life. The same applies to the cost of drinks, which many guests found particularly extortionate.

Although the pub welcomes children, guests point out that there is a distinct lack of amenities on offer for younger guests. Complaints include a lack of highchairs and baby changing facilities. Plus, there is no play area in the garden.
