The Thirsty Scholar

Perfect for two night stay ….downside , we stupidly didn’t realize that there was no on site parking which wasn’t easy as we are in our eighty's !!

Nice friendly pub. Staff were great especially the owner who is leaving soon to retire. Handy for the town and has good food choices.

Very last minute 2 night stay- Adele was so helpful in booking everything in over the phone . Frederico the manager couldn’t have been more helpful when we arrived- rooms were super comfortable and lots of character . We arrived just after kitchen closed but the chef went out of his way to make sure we had something to eat after a long drive which was much appreciated. Food was awesome . Great location - car park not for the faint hearted !! But we will Definitely be back

I really think the staff were amazing. Food was great and the bed gave me a good night sleep. What more can you ask for

Most appalling and upsetting visit!!! My friend was ejected for resting his eyes before eating. He had just lost his mum and been told they were discontinuing treatment for terminal cancer, so decided to go away for a few days, stopped here for a rest and food but was left embarrassed and devastated. This is supposed to be a public house, warm and friendly but sadly just a very rude landlady. Maybe a lesson needed in customer service or a change of occupation!!!!! Not all illnesses are visible, just maybe some people need to be around the warmth of life not pushed into an empty room alone

Friendly, comfy Enjoyed my stay. Nice clean, comfy room. Good choice for breakfast and short walk from train and town centre.
