My first time at the Greyhound, but a return to a family favourite pub for my partner, his sister and brother-in-law. They used to take their parents there 40 years ago! Lovely outside seating areas added, loved the flat caps on the friendly staff and the food was fab! Toilets lovely and clean too. Will go again!

Lovely place. Very calm and relaxed atmosphere from the moment I arrived. Very accommodating for dogs. The doggy paddock is great to let your furry friend stretch their legs.

We had a nice stay. One of our party fell over in the grounds. The staff were very helpful. Their breakfast was taken to the room as they were still a bit shaky. The room was comfortable nice bathroom and we enjoyed the Welsh cakes. There was a very good selection of drinks in the room The dogs loved the doggy park and their doggy sausage after. We would stay again if in the area.

Very pleasant lunch for four, relaxing venue with good but not intrusive service; tables not too close inside so it felt quite airy/socially-distanced;) and lovely-looking spaces outside. Food was good - startwr+main = too full to sample dessert - my steak & kidney pot pie was tasty (personally I prefer more kidney but that's quite a personal thing), chips were fresh & excellent and Abbot ale was good. Very good overall & already plan to return :)
