Only stopped for a drink but it was heaving despite being between meal times. Will definitely return for food and then again in summer for a drink.

Lovely friendly staff from the moment we checked in to when we left. Had a ground floor room which we had requested with outside access for our dog. Very clean and all essentials provided. Had dinner which was delicious and they brought a special treat for our dog for breakfast! Would definitely stay again.

We had an amazing stay here. Accommodation was excellent, very spacious exceptionally clean. Everything we could need for our stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Food in the restaurant was excellent, all freshly prepared and cooked. Continental breakfast had great choices with fresh out of the oven croissants. We only stayed for one night, wish it could have been longer. Will definitely return for another stay.

What a Sunday lunch! Attended The Winning Post with family and honestly, the food and service were top-notch. FYI, the Yorkshire Puddings are epic! Highly recommend it- look forward to visiting again soon.

We stay just around the corner from the Winning Post and have been here several times in the last few months. Initially we put off going because it looked super upmarket and pricey. I think that was just me being weird. When we finally did try it we kicked ourselves for not going sooner. All the meals we have had have been of a very high standard and pricing pretty average for food and drinks. The service has been great and the staff have always seemed friendly and helpful. A couple nice outside spaces and a characterful and well maintained classic pub on the inside. We have a fair bit of variety
