The Engine Inn

The staff were very friendly, polite and helpful , but facilities were run down and in need of a good clean. Bedding and towels grubby and stained. No internet access or use of a public phone . Room was spacious but very basic. Kettle, tea, coffee and a couple of biscuit packs.

We were supposed to stay one night in the double ground floor room May 22, but this turned out to be the dirtiest/smelliest room we have ever seen and we refused to stay. We since found out that the couple who were supposed to stay May 21 also refused to stay for the same reasons. We were so appalled that we left quickly without taking pictures of the decaying building and the dirt we witnessed, and of course the terrible brown stained bedding, but if you are thinking of visiting, please research other reviews from people who booked rooms here, some of them have posted pictures.

A great venue for a motorhome stopover for the night, bag's of parking space. Staff are very warm and friendly and the food absolutely superb. We joined in the pub quiz, came last and was given a round of applause with a bag of chocolate buttons, PS, thanks, lol. Would definitely recommend this venue to all motorhome users and public alike.

We had phoned ahead to arrange to stay in our motorhome in the car park and were pre-warned in a very friendly way that it was fish Friday - fish & chips/ scampi & fries or a vegan option. When we arrived we called in for an afternoon drink to find, to my great delight, that this is a “proper pub”. Flagstone floors, character features, good ales, friendly landlady, landlord & staff and friendly locals. On our return later for food the fish & chips was excellent - lovely crisp thin batter on a large portion of fish. My scampi were good too. The pub was in full swing. Lots of friendly laughing joking chatty locals. Thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

The room was full of mould, drain was blocked, bathroom was very filthy, bed clothes were stained, neither Wi-Fi nor food available also both were advertised. The room was just not suitable for renting out and no effort done to make up for it.

The food and the service was very good. The place itself could be amazing. The thing that let it down for us was the cleanliness. It felt like the whole place could do with a deep clean.

Just popped in for a drink on the evening as food had stopped. Lovely atmosphere, great people and welcoming landlady. Had breakfast the following day which was very nice and plentiful. Stayed for free in their car park which was perfectly adequate

Stoped here on a Sunday looking for a pup lunch, the barman almost apologised as they were only doing the Sunday Roast,, he didn’t need to as there was great choice, beef, pork, turkey, we both went for the Turkey , well when it arrived it was like a Christmas dinner just with our stuffing, For the price you could not get better, the veg was a little soft but everything was very tasty,, thank you

Great place great people enjoyed joining in with the quiz unfortunately we were to late for food but had a amazingly cheap breakfast in the morning. The choice of ciders and beer are great. The pub itself is very old and original will definitely be visiting again Keep up the good work
