General Information About Us

 


The Wheatsheaf Inn was originally a public house but now operates as a fully licensed Guesthouse & Restaurant offering more than its fair share of warmth and character.  The lounge and restaurant are open to non-residents who are welcome to simply drop in for a quiet drink and a chat or spend a pleasant evening dining.  Our restaurant will open outside of our advertised hours for advance dinner party bookings of 8 or 10.  These bookings must be secured by a deposit at time of booking.

Tony and Stella, along with their two young sons, look forward to welcoming you to enjoy the traditional ambience offered at The Wheatsheaf all year round.  We offer a high standard of freshly cooked good quality food and aim to offer friendly personal service to boot.  Our 2008 Quality in Tourism report states: "Guests can expect a warm welcome, with personal service and hospitality offered throughout the stay from the resident proprietors.  Service is efficient and attentive, guest satisfaction an obvious priority here at The Wheatsheaf Inn."

2008 Guest Comments

We had a wonderful stay - the bedroom was beautiful and want the bathroom in my house.
Everyone we met were so friendly and kind and couldn't fault anything at all.
Will definitely come again and recommend to friends.

Rooms were really clean, bright and welcoming.  I liked the fact taht we had fresh milk - a lovely touch.  Open friendly, relaxded and comfortable atmosphere.  Although we were only on a short visit it didn't feel like we were only passing through, but staying with people we knew rather than at a hotel.  Trout cooked to perfection!

Excellent facilities - especially child-minding!  Your boys are lovely young chaps and the enjoyment levels for our young ones and therefore ourselves was great.

Very spacious, well equipped rooms.  Very comfortable.  You were quick to act on any issues - eg door handle.  Consideration shown - eg in providing fresh milk.  You have high standards of cuisine.

Payment, Cancellation & No Show

  1. A credit/debit card is needed to secure your booking. No payment is taken from this card unless you ask us to, or the booking is cancelled within the seven days leading up to arrival or you do not show, or you use the card to pay on departure.

  2. If you are unable to secure the booking with a credit/debit card then we require a cheque/postal order/bankers draft for the full amount of the stay (cheques only accepted 14 days in advance of booking). We will then send confirmation once the money has cleared. If a cheque used to cover payment is returned, we will cancel the booking and seek recovery of bank charges (£25). If the booking is cancelled in the seven days leading up to arrival or you do not show, we reserve the right to retain full payment.

  3. We take all bookings in good faith, but once a booking has been received and confirmed the booking becomes a contract. As such we will seek to recover the cost of the booking through the small claims court and will also include the fee charged to us to pursue payment if we cannot obtain payment from a credit/debit card or cheque provided at the time of booking.
