What a lovely friendly pub! The staff were so nice and even the customers in the bar were so friendly. Food was delicious, the room was clean and had everything we required. Really really nice stay and would love to return

The only criticism I can honestly make is that the mattress in Room 5 was not at all up to the standard we would expect. We had read the reviews before going to stay and this had been highlighted before. We had hoped it would have been addressed and a hotel standard mattress available 😞 This stay would have been 10/10 had we had a comfy bed

Lovely rooms, well furnished and up to date. Reasonable choice for dinner and breakfast

Despite advance notice of one guest requiring gluten free breakfast, we were informed that neither the sausages nor beans were gluten free and no substitute was offered. As a non egg eater this limited the choice somewhat. The only thing provided that was specifically gf, was bread, which had to be toasted. The breakfast arrangements could have been made a little clearer, unsure whether jams or marmalades were provided. Límited gluten free food at dinner as the preferred dishes were sold out.

We stayed at the Labouring Man for my brother’s funeral. Martin and his wife, plus his brilliant staff couldn’t have done more to make our stay better. They looked after our party so well. The buffet lunch was plentiful and delicious. We would highly recommend this pub/hotel. I forgot to mention the breakfasts- very tasty with so much choice. We loved it. I would recommend the smoked salmon and scrambled egg on toast.

To have had my brother, Nick, there too. X

The food was really good and the service also. It was nice to be able to eat outside, especially given the excellent weather during our stay.

The room was ok overall but the bathroom as a little small and I found the shower cubicle a bit cramped. The toilet did not flush properly- it took 3 or more goes to flush away solid waste, I raised this with the staff but I felt my concerns were not taken seriously and we just got on with it in the end.

Everything about this b&b was exceptional. Every member of staff was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble for the boss and his wife who went out of their way to provide a first-class food experience, together with a comfortable bedroom, containing plenty of storage space and a 2-seater sofa (and a shower that works!)

There was nothing seriously wrong. A couple of very small things - the lighting was poor in the bedroom and the pillows need replacing

Idyllic location. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Lots of locals in the bar and restaurant. The restaurant was superb; very well cooked and reasonably priced (ate there both evenings). Make sure you book as it's very popular.

No dislikes as such, though I would have liked a bit more breakfast non-cooked choice as my preference is for buffet style rather than cooked. Couldn't fault the actual food though.

Location was great for me as i attending the college up the road, although no fault of the pub the road leading to the college was closed so had to use a different route, but as to the labouring man it could not have been better Owners and staff were first class and all the locals were very chatty. Will use this hotel/Pub again for my next Visit> Many thanks to all the staff at the pub they were all excellent.

Nothing what so ever as i have said above could not have had a better place to stay room was lovely and the shower was excellent. The only thin i could complain about was the weather was awful did not stop Raining

We loved our stay at the Labouring Man. We were greeted by Martin upon arrival and shown to our room which was beautifully decorated. Martin apologised for not serving any food on the evening as it was a bank holiday. It wasn't a problem at all as he kindly pointed us towards a near-by delivery service which suited us well. We had a wonderful night's rest in the room and a fantastic breakfast the next morning, chatting with Martin and his wife Lynne. The decor in the pub / restaurant was lovely, the food delicious and it was obvious how much pride and care Martin and Lynne take in looking after this lovely pub.

Everything was fantastic. It was a slight shame that we couldn't eat in the restaurant in the evening due to it being a bank holiday but it didn't affect our stay and we had a wonderful time.

Stayed here as was close to the Vineyard we were touring. Hosts Martyn & Lyn were very welcoming & friendly food was home cooked & delicious, I had the fish pie with peas/ carrots which was very tasty, my husband had ham, egg & chips which he enjoyed, the full english next morning was equally as good. Room was spotless & had everything you would need, jelly babies In a jar were a nice touch! Nice soft towels & toiletries. Bed was super comfy. Courtyard outside was very pretty with plants and water features. Wouldn't hesitate to return. Thank you both.

My room was spotlessly clean & had everything I needed for a 1 night stay. I loved the fact that it had its own entrance so that it felt like I was staying in a guest cottage instead of a hotel. I could park my car right in front of my door. Like many businesses in the hospitality industry, they are short-staffed, but the owners are very hands-on & they cooked & served breakfast on their own. I enjoyed dinner & breakfast & service was very good. My bed was very comfortable & I slept soundly after a great shower. The little jar of jellybeans in my room was a lovely touch.

Nothing to complain about. I would stay again if I had the same room.
