Subpar place to stay & most expensive of this 28 day trip. I thick it was the owner was the only other person I saw during my stay. He was a nice enough chap. Perhaps near retirement. Stayed in Room #4. 3 nights in late-March 2025. Negatives: The towels were dirty, like old rags actually. When called out in the morning, he replaced... with more of the same!!! The silverware both in the room and in the restaurant during breakfast had a sticky film on them. Dirty! The "English breakfast" itself was barely that & fair at best with everything being straight out of the can especially the beans. Yogurt was had only with fruit out of plastic container "pure sugar bombs"! The toilet seat was not clean. The shower area was tiny and had the pull thing to activate it from outside the shower. The faucets at the sink were too stiff. Wi-Fi issues with connectivity and speed. No USB power. Lastly, the room had the whimsical 1800's style door lock, you know the kind that you can peep through. Which means you need the key to lock it from the inside. That's really a major safety hazard in a event of a fire, I recommend leaving the key in there. These are illegal in the U.S. Positives: Check-in was easy. Lot's of free parking (especially when your the only one there). Quiet.

The Pecking Mill Inn

Arrived late Friday night to a warm welcome and warm clean rooms. Great sized family room with a double bed, tele and books in the 1st, with twin beds in a room that led from it. Hubby even managed to get a drink once we'd unloaded the car. Tasty breakfast with choice of cereals, yoghurts and full English which could be adapted down to a bacon sandwich or something else if preferred. Friendly owner and car park adjacent where we could see our car from our room. Nice view of fields and sheep out of most of the windows.

The Inn dates back to the 1600's, the owner who's been there about 22 years was lovely and his food was delicious. The rooms were clean and tidy although the bathroom was a little jaded but it suited us perfectly and we would go back

Lovely 500 year old pub!

Three night stay to visit relatives. Easy check in with Geoff our genial and knowledgable host who showed us to our comfortable room. A good level of cleanliness given the age and construction of the building.
