"The Village Inn B&B is a lovely little pub set right on the edge of the A697. There isn’t much parking available, we had to park down the road, not too far away, but it is a little frustrating. The pub has the usual decor, old style look, with wooden benches out front. The staff are pleasant and very polite. Our room was clean upon first inspection. Loved the red wall and the beams on the ceiling give it a rustic vibe. However, for some reason the room smelt strongly of BO, and no, it wasn’t me. It was definitely the room. There was also a strong pungent smell of stagnant water or sewerage when we first flushed the toilet. The bathroom while clean at first glance, did have huge cobwebs strewn about. Just very pleased no huge spiders! The double bed was very clean upon inspection, as were the towels. The bed was surprisingly very comfortable, but the curtains don’t reach the full width of the curtain rail, so on a morning when the sun is coming through, it hits you straight in the face because you can’t pull the curtain right up to the wall. Maybe have two curtains instead of one large one. Food was genuine pub grub and very nice. Beers are limited but a good small range. The bar area is pleasant but it’s a shame they don’t utilise the upstairs eating area, the decor here is really good. All in all, a lovely little B&B pub with polite staff and good food. You’d expect nothing else from the prices so no one can really complain about the lack of 4-star qualities, it’s a pub B&B, and a nice one of that!"

"Was going to a show at the nearby TECA and thought this would be the ideal place for a meal with my wife, our son and his girlfriend. Arrived about 6.15 and sat at a table before 6.30. Restaurant was busy I assumed with other people going to the show. Drink orders and food orders taken at the same time as I knew we needed to be reasonably quick. Drinks arrived quickly followed shortly afterwards by the customary poppadoms with sauces. Here ends the good part of the visit. The restaurant started to empty and we waited for our mains, as did the couple next to us. Just before half past, they gave up and went to pay without getting their food, which apparently was just ready so they got it to take away. We have it another 10 minutes and then we had to go. As I went to pay and explain tht we couldn’t stay any longer, I was told tht the food was ready! I explained that it was too late and that we had been waiting 45 minutes for it. The staff offered to give us it to takeaway which I agreed. Even that took another 5 minutes to get! I paid the bill and the staff gave me a small discount for my trouble, we got our food and off we went. After the show, we got home to have our long awaited dinner. Opened the bag and found that we had got our 4 mains and 2 naans but no rice! So we didn’t really get a discount, we just didn’t get all the food we ordered! The staff seemed nice but obviously weren’t used to busy nights but when the restaurant started to empty, the kitchen and staff seemed to stop. Would not return for a meal here."
