The Bugle Inn

Really good food but the week night we picked was very rowdy with lots of men talking and swearing so loudly that we couldn't hear what our friends were saying. I'm not sure why the landlord didn't ask them to tone it down a bit. As I said the food was exceptionally good but unfortunately we wouldn't go there again as there was no ambience whatsoever.

Would not advise families to stay here! We arrived to a busy pub on Saturday, full of drinkers, not a very family friendly atmosphere. No lift had to carry bags and babies up to the rooms. Our room had just a double bed, which was meant to cater to me my partner and our two babies, we had no offer of a crib. We asked if there was a family room, as this is what we requested but this had been given to someone else. We wish we had been warned about the live music prior to arrival!!! Blasting until 12pm which was so loud that our room was shaking, there was no way to sleep through it. I don't get what part of the pub is suitable for families.

I would give it a 5 for quality of food,4 for the room and 1 for the service/ staff. On the Friday evening 20 of us had a meal and it was top notch as was the brekky on both days. Unfortunately the staff don’t know how to engage with guests. They either stare blankly and make little or no effort in making you feel welcome. Such a shame as it marred the weekend. If they improved in these areas it would be really good all round.

Our second stay here as we also came over Christmas which was brilliant. After a long drive the management and staff were absolutely fantastic in making us feel welcome and relaxed. The rooms are tastefully decorated and super clean with plenty of tea,coffee and hot chocolate supplies which was great! The locals are very friendly too with a great sense of humour so we really did feel we was home from home! We had the full English in the morning which was as good as any we have ever had, this place really is a goldmine for anyone visiting the area and the fact it is dog friendly was just the cherry on the cake! We really can't recommend this place any higher other than we would struggle to book again once the secret is out!

Qnly stayed for one drink as the wife is pregnant and not drinking But nice and friendly pub with a good crowd in Nice drop of cider and a good atmosphere Will call again next time I’m down this way Very clean toilets

My partner and I left this morning after a very pleasant stay. Staff were very friendly and we were given a very warm welcome upon arrival - tally (our dog) appreciated her bowl of water after a long journey! Our room was very clean and everything was thought of - even down to a bottle of water seeing as the tap water wasn’t drinking water. Rooms could do with a little bit of an update as some of the furniture looked a bit tired and old. We did struggle to flush the toilet at times but I gather that’s largely down to the fact that the building is quite old so to be expected. However, our bed was very comfortable and the room was a nice size - we slept well and appreciated the room being dog friendly also. The food at the bugle inn was fantastic. We had both dinner and breakfast and couldn’t fault either. Portion sizes were good value for what we paid and I feel there was plenty of choice to suit all types of people. The only thing I would say is that the music for a 6pm dinner was a bit too loud. We appreciate that it was a Saturday night but perhaps the music could have stayed at a lower volume until a little later in the evening as we struggled to have our normal dinner time conversation. For £89 including breakfast, we felt this was very good value and were very happy with the standard of service and hospitality - thank you for having us :)
