Will defiantly visit again if we are in the... More

Visited five times during our stay in Ashill and enjoyed each and every one of them. Great menu with a good specials board, quick and efficient service, piping hot food and huge portions. Lovely warm welcome, especially bar staff, and very friendly locals. Would happily recommend to anyone visiting the area

Visited for an evening meal with another couple. Very popular spot with great menu including pub staple dishes and a range of specials, delicious food, friendly and efficient service. They have a band on most Friday nights so for dinner I would recommend booking a table.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Chris and Janet for making my son and daughter in law's wedding special. Food was great and very plentiful, venue good and staff went out of their way to be helpful Would definitely recommend. We stayed in their accommodation overnight which was clean and comfortable with a lovely breakfast

Lovely find; great service and welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. Gorgeous, huge comfy bed and big bathroom with bath and shower. lighting a bit dim though. oh yes, two big mirrors in the bedroom, chest of drawers for foldables and fair amount of hanging space if you're only staying a couple of nights. Hair dryer and bath products provided.
