The Porterhouse

Joshua greeted us on arrival in the bar and showed us to our room on the first floor at the side of the pub. A pleasant room which despite having both sash window open was rather warm, but it was nearly 30°c outside. There was a fan which helped to cool the room a little. The bed, or at least the mattress seem almost brand new and had several toppers and protectors on. A fussy sleeper I was impressed with the bedsheet and duvet quality and laundering. My wife and I agreed it was an extremely comfortable bed and despite the temperature we had a very comfortable undisturbed night. The shower was a soaker type and had plenty of pressure and was great. It had nowhere to put your shower gel and shampoo though and some of the grouting was a little grubby. The room overall was very clean and had available plug sockets at the sides of the bed for phone charging etc. In fact I managed to leave my watch charger there and Elle kindly arranged for its return by post and wouldn’t take any postage payment. We had a very nice pizza, a beer and a glass of wine in the teepee in the small garden out the back which was quite unusual and very pleasant. Breakfast is a self service continental in the shared kitchen adjacent to our room. There was a reasonable choice available on the evening we arrived but by the next morning a lot of it was taken by the only other guests, 2 young guys in the room at the end of the hall, so our choice was limited, although I’m sure if we’d asked the pub would have replenished it, but we didn’t bother. So overall we would definitely stay again and thoroughly recommend it. Thank you team.

Had a 1 night stay at the Porterhouse, with my girl friends. We loved everything about the place. Rooms were light and clean. Had everything we need in them. The kitchen was lovely, it was nice to have a place to sit and have a drink. The continental breakfast had everything you could have imagine in it. We also had lunch on arrival and the Mushroom & Haloumi Burger was fantastic. We are thing of going back just to stay at the pub because we like it so much. Thanks to all the staff. Lucy Norfolk

We attended The Porterhouse for a late lunch on a Thursday. Service was fantastic and the food was even better! Food was all made to order and we’re offered to make amendments if needs be. We had a brownie for dessert which was beautiful also! Thank you Chloe H for great service and Craig in the kitchen!

This was a great stay with friendly staff and I would highly recommend, the bed was so comfortable it was hard to wake-up! I was also surprised at how quiet the room was too considering it is a pub downstairs. I would not hesitate to return, thanks! Mark
