The Wheatsheaf had a good atmosphere with excellent attentive staff and both the two evening meals and breakfasts we had over the weekend were excellent. The room was clean and tidy with a good sized ensuite and large shower.
There is a church opposite the Wheatsheaf which rings the bells until quite late at night and starts early in the morning, so if you are a light sleeper the hotel provides ear plugs. This might not suit everyone. It didn't bother us though as our window had secondary glazing which helped to muffle the sound enough so as not to interrupt our sleep.

A warm welcome when we arrived and were shown to our room. A lovely historic inn in a village setting next to a beautiful church. Our room was comfortable, with a large bathroom and great walk in shower. You are supplied with earplugs for the church chimes but despite being light sleepers we didn’t need them and the chimes were really faint and well muffled by the secondary glazing. We ate dinner in the inn and this was great. We had a fab breakfast in the morning. Very dog friendly.

A lovely pub with delicious food and very friendly and helpful staff. This is a good place to stay with a dog. The building is old and quirky so to reach the bedrooms requires climbing stairs and going along corridors and through swing doors. This would not be easy if your dog needed to get outside for a wee in the night. Otherwise great and we felt very welcome. The village is very pretty.

The Wheatsheaf is an authentic inn. It is a really good period building with complimentary design and decor inside and out. The pub serves decent food and drink. The staff were very good. The breakfast was excellent. The location is also great and the walk around the village, heron island, the mill, the church and to the fairy steps is a real treat.
The room is decorated and kitted out very well. Bathroom is great. The space is a little cramped (room 4).

Absolutely loved the Inn and it gives off a homely feel. All the staff were very friendly. We loved our princess bed. As a 5ft 3 woman, I definitely needed the mini steps to climb onto the bed. Getting out of bed was fantastic as you just slod down and your striaght into a standing position! The mattress is so compfy you easily fall asleep. Food is perfect and the drinks flowed. Breakfast was amazing with a good choice on the menu to choose. The walks around are good and we loved finding the Fairy Steps.
Nothing we didn't like, it was all good.

My wife and I had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at the Wheatsheaf. Lucy, Callum, and the team really looked after us and went over and beyond. The food was excellent, and the drinks reasonably priced with a varied selection. Our room was pristine with an amazing modern bathroom. Our dog was fussed over and given plenty of treats. The area is beautiful with amazing walks. I have no hesitation in recommending the Wheatsheaf to others. We will definitely return.

Absolutely lovely building and the room was really nice, comfortable and very clean. A nice quiet location but easy access to other places. Perfect for a peaceful night's getaway. The food was amazing. Definitely would return.
We loved the pub, but we did feel like it catered more for diners than if you wanted to just sit and have a drink. We did have a table booked for food but beforehand had to sit outside because all of the tables were booked. Luckily, it was nice weather, so it wasn't really a problem, and I'm sure other quieter times it's not an issue.

Very quaint old fashioned pub with rooms. Very clean , lovely staff who were exceptionally helpful during the dinner.
The room was quaint and clean with an old fashioned looking bed. Unfortunately as I got into the bed some of the slats became unfixed. My husband spent a while trying to get to fix them. I got up in the night and returning to bed it happened again ! Hence a very uncomfortable sleep !! I reported this in the morning so that others wouldn’t have the same experience.

Lovely location. Very close to church bells with lovely view out window (no issues with noise for me). Dinner was fab - small menu but home made and delicious. Very helpful and friendly staff - they kindly took my order over phone as I was due to arrive just as they stopped serving which was above and beyond! Breakfast was also good. Bed was very comfy, good shower and spotlessly clean.

Food was excellent, plenty of choice for vegan. Vegetarian and gluten free also. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel had a great car park close by and rooms were spotless with excellent ensuite bathrooms. There were lovely walks from right outside the door to take your dog.
Rooms were a little small and it would habe been nice to have a lounge to sit and relax in and have a pre dinner drink.
