Inn On The Chase

Very nice Inn but had difficulty sleeping because of the noise of traffic from the road and, unfortunately, this would probably stop us staying there again. Very friendly hosts. The rooms basic but comfortable.

This assessment is based on the appalling conditiuon of the twin beds which were grossly inconsistent with the quality implied by the web site presentation. I think that the double beds in other rooms were to an acceptable standard.

The staff were very friendly. The atmosphere in the restaurant area was pleasant and the food was good.
However we were disappointed in the accommodation. The bed rooms were rather characterless. One of the beds appeared to have a board beneath the mattress covering the lower half only so it shelved with the feet and legs higher than the upper half of the body. A strange experience when sitting on it. There was no lounge area in the inn but the room only had one chair so there was nowhere to relax.
Breakfast was good but basic - bacon, egg, sausage, baked beans and toast; no cereal or fruit juice and no preserves to go on the toast. On the first morning we had to ask for marmalade and on the second morning (different member of staff) we had to ask again. This time we were brought one small pot and the waiter seemed surprised that we BOTH wanted marmaladet!

Words fail me entirely. I stayed in the l'uxury' cottage.

The new owners are in the process of upgrading the facilities in both the accommodation and the pub itself. The rooms were comfy and clean, if a little worn, and the full English breakfast was just the one plate with no offer of cereal, juice or marmalade to accompany the toast. The biggest drawback is the noise from the road on which the Inn is situated although we should have anticipated this once we had known the location. Not recommended for light sleepers! We didn't eat in the restaurant but the menu looked interesting and all the food is cooked on the premises.
