We absolutely loved staying in stable cottage at The Horseshoe and Castle A perfect distance to the wedding venue .. Cooling Castle Barn . The property was perfectly presented, very comfortable,spotlessly clean and very pretty . 15 steps was all we had to take to be in the friendly bar and restaurant where Stuart his dad Kevin and an extremely friendly team of staff looked after our every need . Stuart is the Chef and with a very varied menu we enjoyed all our meals from breakfast , snacks and dinner .

Marie

Staff were friendly, helpful, knew the history of the area and pub and willing to help. Proprietor is guest-orientated and rewarding to talk to. Pub was fascinating, filled with interesting pictures, maps and ornaments (including many stuffed birds and animals); village and surrounding area was historically fascinating, with many connections to Charles Dickens. We stayed in The Cottage which was delightful – a separate building in the courtyard, with a very comfortable bed and usual facilities.

Tim

The Horseshoe and Castle was great, the staff were very friendly, approachable and accomdating. The entire pub and room was extremely clean, such a little gem. We were attending a wedding in Cooling Castle Barn so this place was a fantastic and ideal place to stay. The host apologised for the noise (as building work was being finisbed off) when we went down to breakfast. However, we had not heard any noise. But it was lovely that they apologised incase we had.

Reed

Our room was comfortable, homely and spotlessly clean - the lovely welcome basket on arrival was a particularly nice touch! Breakfast was included in our stay and was excellent (would recommend the full English!). Staff were very friendly and helpful. We felt very welcome and having access to the property to come and go as we needed was very useful when visiting family nearby.

The location was perfect for our purpose , the bar and restaurant were very period and quirky . The staff were all very polite and efficient nothing was too much trouble giving us a relaxed and enjoyable stay . Finally , our breakfasts were cooked and served to perfection , we would definitely come again and bring friends to sample the evening menu and ales .
