+ The King John is a lovely country pub, surrounded by great walking. The staff could not have been more helpful. The food was great and the beers and wines good. The bedroom was large and the bed was huge and very comfy. The bath was big and the water pressure awesome. The wifi worked well. Breakfast was excellent. Our dog was also very welcome.
− Sadly it was let down by poor cleaning - cotton buds on the bathroom floor, poorly cleaned carpets in the bedroom and landing, slightly sticky tables and dirty seats in the bar/restaurant.

+ Comfortable and very nicely decorated
− My only small complaint is that the pillows were synthetic and very uncomfortable . However it could be for allergies
