Oozing atmosphere and character this Old English Inn is a little gem. We booked bed and breakfast and were checked in by James who could not be more helpful. The room was a tad small with a bathroom that could best be describe as miniscule. The room was freshly decorated and the bed comfy with crisp linen and a good... More

It's a pub, and doesn't pretend to be anything else, so if you want 4-star rooms and service go elsewhere. What you get is a very old picturesque inn in a lovely peaceful location, with attentive friendly staff, and an adequate but hardly luxurious room. Unfortunately it is sometimes let down by its kitchen - it's only pub grub, of... More

We have returned for the 1st time in over 2 years. Having been once a month with a car club, for many months, previously. Our group left because of the downward turn in most departments. Today, what a lovely welcome with very friendly and attentive staff. So nice to see a large selection of bottled soft drinks at the bar.... More

What a wonderful 3 night stay! Amazing history and building, nice cosy bedroom, a perfect and quiet location. Kat and her team couldn't have been more welcoming and they all made the place so homely. We also had plenty of information and guidance for days out. Would highly recommended a stay at The Old Ferry Boat.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, the food lovely and lots of choice, the setting very picturesque with the Ferry Boat itself being a lovely old building with lots of beams and roaring fires.

Stayed one night on business with my wife what a pleasant change from the large impersonal hotels this is a gem tucked away with great views and surrounding countryside. Rooms are a bit on the small side and don't have lavish bathrooms but this is an old inn and as such comes with the character of an old english inn.... More
