Excellent Find!
This was a great find at a reasonable price. Stayed in the family/suite room. The room had everything you could want including a detailed book of information for the hotel and local attractions. Food was also good and reasonable. Hotel does not currently offer breakfast. Overall, Fantastic! Would stay again :)

Comfortable & welcoming
The Old Peculiar offers excellent, comfortable room-only facilities, breakfast not being available.
This suited our purpose for a family visit, & the atmosphere & evening meals are worthy of note.

I checked in and decided not stay as room was not one of the best. Pub looked good. Need to spend money in future for a better hotel. Nothing really wrong with room etc but was hoping for more. Live and learn you get what you pay for

A real gem!
A wonderful stay at this lovely pub. We were visiting the National Memorial Aboretum and being only 7 miles away it was ideally situated and my choice was based on this factor and the previous great reviews.
The welcome was warm, the people are superb, the food is outstanding and the rooms are clean and functional. If there is one (very) minor criticism it is that I found the bed a little soft and the quilt a little small. Having said that, I recognise these observations reflect personal preferences rather than any failing of the place itself.
We will stay here again when we are in the area. Well done to everyone involved and thank you for making our visit so pleasant.

The room was very noisy and the room had not be cleaned during my 3 night stay , had to leave early because of a family problem and had to pay full amount i.e 4 nights.
No breakfast available is not a good decision.
I have used this property for almost 18 months and in my view I would not use it again sadly.
