The Stag on the River

Sensational stay exceeding expectations

Liked: What a simply fabulous stay! The welcome by Matt, the service by Pauline in the morning over breakfast, the dinner - all was first class. The overall atmosphere of the place was wonderful. I only gave a slightly lower rating for the bed because the room was sloping (added to the great charm and authentic age of the room) and thus the bed also sloped and I thought I might fall out during the night. But the bed was otherwise very comfy and the obviously newly renovated bathroom was sensational with an excellent rain shower. The dinner was superb as was the first class breakfast. This was the last night after a 4 week tour of the UK and with a short drive to Heathrow in the morning, it was perfect. Hat's off to the staff for this one. Thank you Matt and Pauline.

Lovely pub with rooms by...

Liked: Breakfast is very good. Excellent sheets and towel and a super-comfy bed. Pauline and staff were welcoming as ever and very attentive. This is a lovely pub and the rooms are small but very comfortable.
Disliked: It's not a criticism of the property but a request for a return to the wonderful fresh milk in jugs in the fridge on the landing / pantry we enjoyed on previous visits. So nice to have proper milk with the very excellent tea and coffee provided. Now it's the UHT in a plastic sachet. I appreciate that most places now rely on these but it was a lovely homely touch, so if the pub owners are reading please do go back to this.

Very good

Superb

Liked: Nicely appointed rooms. Breakfast delicious, unfortunately my wife wasn't feeling so well and was disappointed that she couldn't finish her egg bendict, which said was lovely.
