I stayed at the Woolpack for a long weekend and couldn’t have asked for a better or ore friendly place to stay! The rooms was immaculate and had everything you could want or need, the breakfast hamper is such a nice touch and already included in the price. The staff all made me feel so welcome, a good funny bunch that went above and beyond. The atmosphere was even better with the live band in the bar Saturday night, having a good dance to some real music. Would 100% stay again!

Great value, gorgeous room.

Room absolutely stunning! Bed really comfortable, bathroom enormous and spotless. Loved the breakfast hamper really nice touch. Only downside was the noisy pub downstairs, would be really difficult to sleep. We made the decision to go down and have a drink, the locals and staff were very welcoming so we made the most of it 😊.

Lovely old property and nice quaint village. Breakfast hamper was good. Unfortunately the hot water didn't work in our room despite flagging it with the staff. No staff on site in the mornings to speak to either. Also, they have loud music in the evenings until 11pm/midnight - which isn't specified in their listing, and they only tell you by email after youve checked in. Its a shame really - nice property but let down by a few serious shortcomings.

Great room

Room was excellent. En-suite was fantastic. Very clean and good stay. It is a public house and music finishing at midnight all good for us on first night but music being slightly turned down and finishing between 3 and 4am not so considerate for guests.

We were only there for 2 nights but everywhere was really clean and fresh. We were made very welcome and all staff were very friendly and helpful. The garden/outside seating area was also well kept. It is obviously a locals pub and everyone we spoke to was very friendly.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Very clean and well presented room. Breakfast is just items supplied in the room, but they have made the very best of the situation. A full breakfast would have earned a top score.
