What a lovely place! The Old Pound is a village pub with superior accommodation offering outstandingly excellent food. The clientele is eclectic and the car park is likely to have everything from Bentleys to builder's vans. Certainly it is well patronised by locals as well as visitors. The atmosphere in the cosy public bar is overwhelmingly friendly with considerable convivial interaction between the locals and the tourists. Adjoining the bar is a pleasant little enclosed beer garden. There is a newly built or refurbished accommodation unit of seven rooms. Bar prices are local pub level, and actually less expensive than most with pints of real ale at well under £4.00. It is also a CAMRA pub with well celared craft beers, offering good discounts to CAMRA members. The accommodation. Our room was well furnished with tea/coffee making facilities and an ensuite bath/shower. The bed was amongst the most comfortable my partner and I have enjoyed - and of a size which could have easily accommodated Snow White and a considerable proportion of her entourage in addition to ourselves - though I must point out that no fairytale characters were molested during our stay! The restaurant. Offering a good selection of mostly locally sourced, home cooked produce prepared to very high standards - including even the very few bought-in items such as spring rolls, etc. The portions are gargantuan, and on one memorable occasion, involving locally made faggots and gravy, defeated even my extreme appetite. Honourable mention must be made of the sausages served with the enormous breakfast. They were quite outstanding in texture and flavour, so much so that I was moved to negotiate for extras on the second morning! All in all an epicurean delight. I can't recommend the Old Pound highly enough, and we shall most definitely be returning - probably on a regular basis.

Poor quality of food, lukewarm dishes,items missing from menu description, dirty cutlery. This is such a shame as we have used this pub for years and had excellent food but since the change in management standards have plummeted. We tried just after the change and it was poor but put this down to getting sorted, however 3 months down the line and it’s actually worse.paid extra £2 for a mixed meat roast but why? Only had 1 slice of pork and 1 slice of beef, others on our table had 2 slices of meat of their choice so why the difference in price when I got nothing extra. Manager just shrugged and said yeah, we’ve had a few complaints about that so I’ll pass it onto head office.we used to have pudding, coffee and another drink but chose to leave and have coffee and cake elsewhere and unfortunately will not be going back again.I hate to see pubs close and try and support where I can but still expect to receive a lot better than what we got

The room was very clean and the staff was kind! I think it's hot in summer because there is no air conditioner, but it's cool at night, so it was just right to open the window. The breakfast was also volume and delicious. I felt very convenient with outlets near this facility

This review is for the stay and breakfast only, I have posted another review for my evening meal. First off, this is a beautiful location, some parking around the back and the staff here are friendly and attentive. The room is dated a bit, the room I had (#6) was on the ground floor which was pretty small with no cupboard space but that wasn't an issue for me. The bathroom looked newer than the room and everything inside was what I needed. The shower wasn't the most powerful but it did the job. Utilities There was free WiFi which was needed as you don't get a signal, the room was a good temperature and the TV (Sharp) worked well if a little too high on the wall. Towels presented nicely on the bed on arrival and tea's/coffee and a kettle in the room. Iron board you had to locate and bring to your room. Unfortunately I have some negative comments. - There was dust around the room. - I could hear the people walking around and chatting above me. Luckily they didn't move much during the night. - The window was missing a piece for the catch. - The pillows were quite thin. - Worst of all unfortunately was the bed, The mattress was so worn I could feel all the springs, this is probably the main reason people book a room and should be the main thing to get right. Breakfast was brilliant, again friendly service and a really tasty meal with excellent coffee. Printer was down on checkout but the invoice was kindly sent to me. I am saddened to score this place so low on my stay as I really did like the location and the staff. I am not sure if the other rooms are better, I could overlook everything else but the mattress for me puts me off a repeat stay.
