Lovely old school pub with brand new rooms
We stayed here after a wedding at Cooling Castle Barn. A warm and friendly welcome both on arrival and on our return from the wedding. We had room 4, very recently built and in spotless condition. An excellent night and beautiful view over the fields. Breakfast was included and cooked to order. Super quality with a big mug of Yorkshire Tea :-)

This rustic lovely pub, restaurant and hotel is perfectly located a walking distance from the Cooling Barn wedding venue. The hotel has check in/check out times to accommodate popular wedding times. As soon as we arrived, we were met by the friendly staff, it felt like we had arrived at a home away from home. Stuart checked us in, top bloke, and the bar/restaurant had great friendly staff, Sarah, Honey, and Hannah that really impressed. We stayed in the cottage for 3 nights, (minimum stay 2 nights for the cottage) located at the rear of the main building with its own entrance. Literally 20 steps from the restaurant and car park. The cottage is self contained with a bathroom/shower over bath and toilet, a second walk in shower room with toilet, kitchen (with fridge and microwave), lounge, private outdoor court yard, and the main bedroom with cupboard. Ample of room and very private facility. Just a few improvements needed here, needs hand wash in the main bathroom, the temperature control for the downstairs shower was very hot and couldn’t be cool. An electrical socket in the main bedroom was very loose when pulling a plug out. No air conditioning here but a large tower fan is provided. No WI-FI found in the cottage but excellent Wi-Fi in the main building. I tethered from my phone when in the cottage. Could definitely benefit from extending the Wi-Fi to the cottage. The food and drinks are reasonably priced and the restaurant and bar service is 5 stars.

No great for business
Breakfast not served until 8.30 which is not good when you need to get to site early. No cleaning service during the stay, so unless you request it, your milk will slowly go off in your room and your coffee will never be replenished.

A Great Stay
A warm welcome from the staff. Clear information in a folder with out of hours contacts. Comfortable bed and a lovely on suit. The room was excellent and we had a great night sleep. It was ideally located for us to travel to a wedding at Cooling Castle. Excellent breakfast! I would highly recommend.

Brilliant service and food
Not fully staffed because of covid, but they gave us numbers to call in case we needed anything out of hours. Very clean and comfortable cottage. Only complaints are that the lock on the bedroom door is completely useless and the upstairs shower needed to be handheld the entire time because the bracket meant to hold it on the wall was faulty and couldn’t support the weight of the shower head. Thankfully, there was a second shower downstairs. Food from the restaurant is also fabulous.
