  “We stayed at Winyards Gap for a weekend and the accommodation was perfect. The room was super cosy, really clean, and well-equipped. It was also round the corner to the pub which meant it felt private, quiet, and secluded, which was lovely. The food (we ate at the pub for both dinner and breakfast) was amazing. And the staff were wonderful - they were friendly, helpful, and nothing was ever too much trouble.”

  “Excellent service, attentive, swapped tables with no problems, like the choice of a smaller roast dinner as we had eaten breakfast so it could've been a waste. Good was lovely. Will definitely be back. Maybe a stay over.”

  “Popped over for Sunday dinner. The location, the pub itself and the staff, were all really lovely but the roast dinner, whilst tasty, was a little underwhelming. I had the trio of meats; the lamb and beef were cooked well, but the chicken was overdone, the roast potatoes were hidden under the meats and veg, and so had become a little on the soft side and the everything could have done with being much hotter (it was as though the food had been plated and left standing for a while before being served). Whilst we really enjoyed our meals, when having lunch out, comes with a price tag of over £100 (and for us, is something we can only afford a once-in-a-while as a family), the experience didn't quite match the expectation. Saying that, it was our first time visiting, we really liked the location, the venue and the staff were lovely and attentive, so we will be back again in the new year for another go!”

  “We booked a meal for a large group to celebrate my birthday. We had pre-dinner drinks, including Otter Ale in perfect condition, overlooking a magnificent view. The food was excellent and the service first class. Vegetarian options were imaginative and well-executed. To cap it all they brought a special sweet and candle for my birthday! Highly recommended.”

  “A great place to stay with the accommodation being good for a few days stay in the area. The rooms are quiet close together and if you get a noisy neighbour you will certainly know about it. That being said they are kitted out with top quality products, and very luxurious bedding. The food is first class, if a little on the expensive side, with the breakfast being superb. The staff are the best, helpful, cheerful and always ready to help. They made the visit as they were a real pleasure and nothing was too much.”

  “What a gem of a place. stayed 2 nights in a lovely room. quality furnishings and great shower, set away from the pub. ate breakfast and dinner both nights and these were faultless. Spent two lovely evenings sat out the front of the pub, watching the world go by and enjoying the stupendous sunsets. The staff were attentive and nothing was too much trouble. we most definitely will return there.”

  “What a lovely place for a special treat. Great Sunday lunch with lots choice and plenty of fresh veggies. All served in a tastefully decorated dining room. The service was brilliant even though they were very busy. The views are amazing. I will definitely return.”

  “What a disappointment. Having never been before, I was brought here by local friends. There is no denying that the pub is in a lovely setting—the views are spectacular, the building has fantastic character, and the beer garden is wonderfully spacious. Unfortunately, that is where the positives end. ​We sat on the patio area, where we found it odd that there are two separate menus depending on whether you sit inside or outside. Despite charging the same prices, the outdoor menu restricts basic extras—for example, we couldn't order curry sauce outside, even though it’s available inside. To make matters worse, food for the patio is served in polystyrene takeaway boxes! ​We ordered what we assumed was a starter (which turned out to be a sharer), but it was brought out in its polystyrene carton at the exact same time as our main courses. When opened, it looked completely unappetising, so we asked to return it. ​This is where things went downhill rapidly. The staff’s response was extremely rude, arrogant, and belittling. After a lengthy argument, they offered a £15 voucher, which we politely declined. We certainly won't be returning.”

  “We booked for Sunday lunch as we do every year when we are in the area. The view from the pub is lovely and the garden is great for a sit down after the meal The lunch is outstanding with a choice of meats and all the sides you could ask for. A special mention for the Yorkshire pudding which was perfect but the whole meal was delicious. The service as always was friendly and professional and the prices are very reasonable. Five stars all day! 😀”
