The Trooper Inn

First and last time to the Trooper Inn. They did manage to get us a last minute table for Sunday lunch which was the best I can say. Service for the whole pub seemed to be with one person and as a resuly was not only very slow but also not very welcoming. The food then proceeded to take ages and was not good when it arrived (cold and uninspiring with caulifower cheese left off as they had run out but of course we were not made aware of this!)

Excellent room - very clean, huge comfortable bed, nice bathroom. Great pub food. No frills, but tasty. Great host: welcoming and efficient. Excellent value for money. Lovely gardens and plenty of parking. We used it as a stopover and can't recommend it highly enough.

Usually closed on a Monday, The Trooper Inn made the right decision to open on a Bank Holiday Monday! I was passing and saw that they were open. Plenty of parking available. Cheerful welcome as I entered, I was served with a smile. Ample choice on the menu, I was easily able to find and order a hearty lunch and sat with my drink at a sunny window table. My delicious lunch was served promptly. A steady stream of passing trade came in after me and as I left more were arriving. I would definitely visit again next time I’m passing the area.

Stayed for 3 nights this week while working away. Can honestly say one of the best places I’ve stayed in a long time the food is great the hospitality is great the owner is friendly and does everything for you if you need it done. Highly recommend anyone who is thinking of staying

Our group went for lunch and Chris and Hassan were superb. Great food and service and excellent VFM. What else do I need to say but I have to keep going as I have to use 200 characters! Thanks for a great lunch.

I stayed in this hotel for one evening and had a great stay. Everything was as described, the staff were welcoming, informative and very helpful. The room was really nice and I particularly enjoyed the deep bath after a long drive down from Scotland. I had access to the bar for dinner as well and had a lovely meal. The continental breakfast in the morning was very generous with cereal, bread for toast, yoghurts, breakfast bars, fruit, tea, coffee, fresh orange and much more available. Would definitely stay again if in the area and recommend to others.

A very good stay. Room great as always, and immaculately cleaned and serviced by Liz. Beer and wine good, and food choice and quality spot on. Friday pie night a really good idea, and the sausage and mash and Sunday lunches really good. Well run by the new management team led by Chris - very friendly and really helpful. We have stopped here quite a lot over the years and were a little concerned about the change to the breakfast arrangements, whereby there is now a self service continental breakfast rather than the traditional cooked breakfast, but this worked quite well, and provided more flexibility regarding breakfast times. Will be back later in the year.

Went for Sunday lunch we have not been for a long time because of a bad experience but are pleased to say things have improved alot we were greeted with a wRm welcome from the new manager the lunch of roast beef was delicious we will return very soon

On arrival place was very clean 10/10 to the cleaner! Very comfy bed and a lovely bath. Nice lined curtains. Bar food was over priced for frozen chips and pie priced at £15! Pie was local and OK but only veg on the very limited menu was mushy peas. Nothing is free it's all paid for in the room price. Breakfast was a let down. Cheap morrisons bread, no fresh Pastries or muffins. 1 banana in bowl few apples and pears. Even with a so called free continental breakfast more effort could be made.
