My wife and I had a most enjoyable stay at this quaint B&B. All staff were very welcoming and the quality of our breakfast was extremely appetising and freshly cooked to order. The bedroom was immaculately clean and tidy. It was a delight to stay in The Jolly Drover and we plan to return there later this year.

Our only small issue was that my wife had difficulty in negotiating the very high outside step leading to the corridor serving rooms 3 -6. I would recommend that a flight of 2 steps is formed to reduce the step height by half

Checking in early was no problem for the staff who appreciated I had travelled some distance, so with various roadworks it was difficult to arrive at a more reasonable time. The meal the first evening took time to arrive, but was cooked from scratch, delicious and by booking a seat ahead I got a free glass of wine! Breakfast the second morning was a bit 'Chefy' with being piled up and decorative greenery, but both mornings it was well cooked, the coffee was good.

Perhaps parking for people who are staying could be marked out so that we are not competing with the 'lunchtime crowd' for a space when trying to check in.

Lovely comfortable and cosy room. Cold when you first get into the room at the end of the day but takes minutes to warm through. Fantastic hospitality tray which is topped up each day with a lovely selection of tea's, hot chocolate, cafetiere with delicious ground coffee, bottled water and delicious shortbread. The room had everything you need for a comfortable stay. I ate in the pub every night and every meal I had was exceptional. The staff are really helpful and accommodating. Breakfast - The continental selection is limited but I didn't want for anything. Menu is just a cooked breakfast, but it is fantastic.

The only inconvenience was the emergency lighting unit in the bedroom which was a little too bright. I prefer total darkness when I'm sleeping and it lit the room up a lot which did disturb me. Not enough to stop me coming back though!! Already booked my next stay!

Convenient location (for visiting family nearby), lovely, friendly staff, great food - especially breakfast - cooked to order full English was superb!

I was lucky to get the last room - 2 singles and tailored for disabled guests- for whom it would be perfect. However for a much more fortunate person like myself used to all the “frills”, I would have much preferred a double bed with a more “traditional” bathroom. That said, if all I could get was what I had I would definitely do it all again!

Location good for our purpose and the breakfast proved to be a great start to the day. Having access to an iron and board in the room was a surprise. Hot drink making facility was also a bonus.

Room was cold, even though we put the room radiator and bathroom towel rail on (the former, we found out, was on a short timer!) and the decor bland, however the bed was comfortable.

The level of skill demonstrated in the preparation and presentation of the evening meal was well above the average for this type of accommodation. A sensible range of dishes, covering most palates. Staff attitude to customers was positive, friendly and welcoming A potential accident situation outside in the car park area was rectified within minutes of being brought to staff notice. Much bigger establishments could well learn from this cheerful hostelry.

Live music volume was somewhat overwhelming and put my auto hearing aids into shutdown mode! (Friday nights only I gather)

The Jolly Drover was a lovely and - for its low price - outstanding hotel. The room we stayed in was in a separate (new) building next to the historic (but renovated and in good shape), original house. It was clean, comfortable and completely silent during nighttime. The pub / restaurant in the ground floor of the historic building features a lovely fireplace and a nice, clean, cosy and well decorated dining area. The food was remarkable and well above everything we had expected and also the english breakfast we had was delicious and served with outstanding friendliness. Overall, I think it is fair to say, I have not stayed in any nicer place anywhere in the UK so far. Thumbs up and thanks for the very pleasant time we had there!

Slightly remote, so its probably difficult to get there without a car. However, apart from this nearly perfect.

Booked one night stay to meet with family for a birthday. The room was clean and tidy and away from the road. Nice added extra's such as coffee and biscuits. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was really good as was the evening meal we had in the pub.

Bearing in mind that the accommodation is part of a pub, we expected some noise. However at just gone midnight a group of friends came back from a wedding and were in and out of the main door. I would recommend that they put a soft closer on the entrance door as it kept banging. After us asking them to be quiet they were. Not the fault of the pub, we would stay again, but think a soft closer needs to be added.

The food was excellent and well presented Didn’t have to wait for service Nothing was too much trouble Tea tray in the room was replenished daily Added bonus of iron and board in the room Staff are really friendly.

Only fault was the price of wine. One large glass of red was over £11 It’s £5 in my local Internet is low but not a fault of the accommodation as it’s a location problem

Friendly staff, very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Quiet country location. The pub restaurant itself serves fantastic mouthwatering meals and the service was brilliant. Would stay again if visiting this part of the country.

The only downside was the conditions for connecting to the WiFi requiring that you agree to them collecting personal information and data from your device. Because of these conditions we didn’t connect and the mobile signal was zero to 2 bars on 3G at best. Had to live without our phones during our stay.
