Lovely characterful village pub with a large carpark. Good sized clean room and bathroom with everything we needed for an excellent night's stay. Quiet ground-floor room where we slept well in a comfortable king-size bed. A little held up on our journey so grateful to be able to finish a good meal before they ended service at 9pm. Freshly cooked breakfast was also very good. The interesting bar area is very well-maintained and decorated. Altogether a very enjoyable stay at a reasonable price and would recommend.

Some type of low power night light in the bathroom would help to navigate in a very dark setting.

The pub is over 100 years old, situated just off the A29 on the Old London Road, a quiet location. Parking at the back of the pub. We had the family room because it had a bath, it was spacious and clean, had king size bed and 2 comfortable chairs. Coffee and tea facilities. Nice artwork on the walls. Breakfast was tasty and freshly prepared, lovely coffee. We had our evening meals in the pub, too, very good.

The mattress was too soft for me and I didn't sleep well because of it. The amount of food with the evening meals was uneven, my husband had the pie with lots of veg and chunky chips, I had creme of chicken (very tasty!) with literally 3 half baby potatoes and 3 slices of leeks, I was still hungry after the meal. At breakfast you get your slice of toast already buttered, the butter disappeared into the toast and left it quite dry. I rather butter my own.

What a lovely friendly pub! The staff were so nice and even the customers in the bar were so friendly. Food was delicious, the room was clean and had everything we required. Really really nice stay and would love to return

The only criticism I can honestly make is that the mattress in Room 5 was not at all up to the standard we would expect. We had read the reviews before going to stay and this had been highlighted before. We had hoped it would have been addressed and a hotel standard mattress available 😞 This stay would have been 10/10 had we had a comfy bed

We booked the King Room, as it had a king size bed and a settee to relax on. We booked on a bed and breakfast basis and the breakfasts were excellent. We also booked to eat in their restaurant each night during our 3 night stay and, again, the food was cooked and presented to perfection. All meals were delicious.

Our shower was rather difficult to control and was too powerful. Also the settee was in a position that made it difficult to watch the television.

Lovely rooms, well furnished and up to date. Reasonable choice for dinner and breakfast

Despite advance notice of one guest requiring gluten free breakfast, we were informed that neither the sausages nor beans were gluten free and no substitute was offered. As a non egg eater this limited the choice somewhat. The only thing provided that was specifically gf, was bread, which had to be toasted. The breakfast arrangements could have been made a little clearer, unsure whether jams or marmalades were provided. Límited gluten free food at dinner as the preferred dishes were sold out.

Comfortable room, good breakfast, welcoming and helpful staff. Parking on site nice location and friendly locals to chat to in the bar. A good stay overall.

We were in room 5 and the shower was a bit poor. No good light anywhere to put make up on. Quite a bit of noise from room above, very creaky floors and you could hear people talking. Not enough of a problem to spoil our stay though.

The food was amazing, the location quiet and beautiful, the staff are warm, friendly and accommodating

everything was great, apart from the we got back late from a wedding and wanted a hot shower, but something happened with the boiler, so there was no hot water. We didn't have a room phone to call anyone, but they fixed it by the morning, so wasn't too much a problem. still loved the place thanks

We stayed at the Labouring Man for my brother’s funeral. Martin and his wife, plus his brilliant staff couldn’t have done more to make our stay better. They looked after our party so well. The buffet lunch was plentiful and delicious. We would highly recommend this pub/hotel. I forgot to mention the breakfasts- very tasty with so much choice. We loved it. I would recommend the smoked salmon and scrambled egg on toast.

To have had my brother, Nick, there too. X

The food was really good and the service also. It was nice to be able to eat outside, especially given the excellent weather during our stay.

The room was ok overall but the bathroom as a little small and I found the shower cubicle a bit cramped. The toilet did not flush properly- it took 3 or more goes to flush away solid waste, I raised this with the staff but I felt my concerns were not taken seriously and we just got on with it in the end.

Lovely accommodation and pub, in a nice setting, welcoming and helpful responsive people, allowed flexibility on room arrival, although it did incur moderate additional fee, but overall very happy with the service and my stay.

Nothing much to say, perhaps a little bit of sound transfer from room above, but that did not really affect my stay.
