We stayed overnight on a special deal of bed,breakfast and dinner. Well worth making the journey to this very pleasant establishment of 5 rooms and gourmet pub food. Most helpful and welcoming landlord and landlady. The landlord is the chef and a good one too, fresh local ingredients and the lightest scones I have ever eaten. A special request for... More

We booked this place off the back of the excellent review in The Guardian and everything matched our expectation. James' attention to detail had us feeling that we were a bit special. We loved the beer that was a unique brew for The Pheasant. Our room was lovely. The evening meal and breakfast were both superb. Loads of things to... More

Having booked this pub b&b; for anyone who intends to book and stay here, please note the following..... This may be a great place, but the owners don't apply the usual b&b terms when taking your credit card details: they take the whole amount for your stay including your dinner/s up front!

I would like to clarify our booking terms and conditions are as follows:- On-line bookings are required to fill in their credit card details but no charge is made to their card on confirmation of booking. The only time any money is taken in advance of a stay is when a special promotion is advertised on a 3rd party website... More

We arrived early and were welcomed by Diana and a glass of sparkling wine. Our room was not quite ready so had time to check out the countryside which is very picturesque. Our room was on the ground floor, large and comfortable, good shower with hot water and we also had terrace doors opening on to a comfortable sitting area.... More

Beautiful accommodation in lovely surroundings. A wide choice of excellent food using local home grown produce. Cannot fault anything. The hosts are warm, friendly and welcoming. A true gem of a find and will certainly be visiting again soon.

The Pheasant is a lovely place. Very peaceful, fantastic food, cozy atmosphere and beautiful rooms. I only wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely recommend it to others and hope to come back and visit again. The rooms are beautiful and Diana worked very hard to make us feel like we were at home.
