> did think of there, but have heard some not so nice stories for people who've visited
whats it really like?

I've never stayed there, but the pub itself is really nice. Any bad things you may have heard are possibly outdated, cos since Lesley and Tim took over management of it, I can't really find fault! Lovely roaring open fire, decent beer and the food's excellent! In my opinion, anyway... :o)
