We were in the area purely to see the Thursford Christmas show- so the location was picked as it was only a 15 minute drive from Thursford. There were cheaper Hotels in the area which were not attached to a pub- but we paid the extra so that we could have a late drink after the show. We also chose the venue as it had parking. It was quite a cold night and the room was warm enough.

Its in a very quiet village- so there were no other patrons in the Pub. When we returned after the Thursford Show hoping to have a late drink- the pub was all locked up in darkness. I cant blame them for that- its not worth keeping a place open for 2 customers- but maybe the Pub opening times could be added to the Booking.com info page. Would have booked somewhere cheaper without an attached pub if had known. Also- for anyone else visiting Thursford- the show finishes at 10pm but it took a full 30 mins to exit the Car Park ( chaotic)- so that needs to be factored into estimating when you may be back at your accomodation. ( I didnt take this into account)- and of couse not the Hotels fault.

We loved the old pub, which is situated just down the road from Wells next the sea.The room overlooking the back of the pub and the views over the fields are spectacular. We had a balcony with patio furniture, which we were able to sit down and relax in. Breakfast was delicious 😋. Evening meals were very nice too. The room was very comfortable and clean. Check out the photos of the view from our balcony. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Nothing.

Quiet spot away from main pub, breakfast was excellent , nice homely pub with excellent staff, evening meal was very nice

Rooms a little tired although clean, Venetian blind broken and not been dusted in months, had to kneel in bath to have a shower ( no shower curtain, and pretty impossible to fit one due to Bath surround and window) bathroom floor needs regrouting , lot’s of little nigglely things, but bed /and room was clean and comfortable , just a few little maintenance issues, but I would stay again

Very friendly and attentive staff. Excellent breakfast & good choice of bar food. Busy main road ( August, so what else), but rooms set quite well back so not noisy...apart from the restless weightlifter (?) in the room above us. Fair pricing overall.

Room a little tired & bathroom needs working on. The shower was useless. Good hot water, but beware the taps ! ( have never seen such water pressure 💦 )

I couldn’t fault the breakfast, very accommodating and great service. The location is lovely but not so easy when you are relying on buses. Otherwise, location is lovely. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

I was travelling alone via public transport and had not been to Stiffkey before so I did have to use the buses which were very full and you needed to know where the stops were in order to ask the driver to stop and I didn’t know where they were. Not the pub’s fault though.

Location was brilliant. We loved being able to walk to the coastal path and / or being able to hop on the coastliner bus. We had two evening meals which were excellent, and we particularly liked the balcony to our room

It would have been nice to have had a defined parking space . And it would have been good to have had a mini fridge in our room.

Excellent location. Friendly staff. Food was good. Room was very nice, away from the main pub.and road, so quiet, with a comfortable bed and even a terrace with views across the countryside.(Photo attached)

The only thing I would criticise is that the bath just had a hand held mixer shower attachment and it would be better if there was a wall mounting and a shower curtain

The bed was comfortable , room had a lovely balcony overlooking gorgeous countryside Breakfast was excellent, the smoked salmon and scrambled egg were out of this world ,my husbands full English was excellent. Proper tea in a pot

The evening menu was a bit restricted, maybe it’s better in the summer when it’s busier . What there was was tasty and well cooked.

Myself and 8 others were going to the christmas spectacular show this lovely little pub with accommodation was a good location. The pub was so cosy & so lovely. The accommodation is not inside the pub but are located just behind. The rooms were Spotlessly clean also very warm and snug, to sum the rooms up they were beautiful staff were very friendly couldn't falt anything xx

The breakfast was cooked to perfection and tasted as a good English breakfast should.

No shower screen and as a consequence the floor was go very wet and slippery - the chalets at the rear of the pub need a make over. Would we go again.... Yes without hesitation a great stay.
