The pub frontage of the Farmers Inn was tidy and cosy-looking; the parking yard, which separates a single-storey block of guestrooms from the pub, looked scruffy and in need of a tidy-up in stormy late-afternoon light. The pub lounge interior was as cosy and tidy as the frontage, with a small bar; overnight guests could enter through a back door past the kitchen -- a fact we didn't realize until we saw other people entering from the car-park. (Better signage would have helped.) The evening meal was excellent, especially the beef pie and veg. My room, #4, was a double-double, very spacious, with a new bathroom. The soft furnishings could have done with a sprucing up, but nothing problematic. What was a problem was a mysterious noise -- like a firework going off whiiiizzzzzz-bang! every five minutes, throughout the night. It wasn't really annoying until I was settling down for the night (I'd written it off as some sort of fog-warning noise during the bad weather earlier), and then it kept me awake for hours. I mentioned it to the management the next morning, and it was ascribed to issues with water-taps not being turned off completely; my friend heard a different whirring noise most of the night, but not the bang. I hope management can deal with the various plumbing noises and tidy up the property a bit. The pub is worth staying at -- and maybe bring ear-plugs if you're a difficult sleeper.

The rooms are at the back of the building and look a bit tired but inside they are very modern, clean, spacious and warm. I would recommend here.

What happened to service with a smile?
Pros to begin with: * Parking - good in that you can park outside your room as rooms have external doors. * Breakfast was lovely. Good quality well cooked. My favourite aspect of this stay. Abut cold in the conservatory though! * Flexibility- we were lucky to get a table to eat when we checked in, they seemed very willing to ensure we got seated. Con’s: * Service. No service with a smile. Both male & female owners/landlords were dreadfully miserable and appeared unwelcoming. No smiles, no eye contact, but they weren’t rude or abrupt directly just very cold and unwelcoming, jseemed terribly unhappy? The female didn’t speak and avoided eye contact. Very bizarre to adopt this approach in this line of work. Just think this place could be amazing if this couple were more welcoming. *Evening meal- we were lucky to get seated but the food wasn’t great.I had the roast dinner, the roast beef seemed reheated I couldn’t cut it, it was a frozen Yorkshire pudding and I was offered chips with it unusually? *the room- good sized room but the floor was filthy in the hall & bathroom had dirty footprints, there was a strong foisty smell, an old dirty pink shower curtain which didn’t go in the bathroom. Bedding was spotless as was the towels. Blinds & décor & furniture etc were NOT & needs cleaning/updating/modernising. But the main thing is the smell. *The breakfast time. We had to be at breakfast at 8.30am, no negotiation on time or a more open time?? Had to be 8.30am.
