Have stayed here b4, about 6 years ago. Nothing seems to have changed in that time. None, if any, up grades, especially in the bathroom, which was one we had last time. That said, it was warm, clean and served my purpose. The towels were large, thick and in new condition. (Not always the case in every place)

From walking into the pub we were welcomed like we were known to the staff. Everyone said hello. We had a lovely walk around the town. It is super popular whatever time of day you call in. The locals are always popping in. The evenings are popular with people wanting to dine.

We were passing through on our way home from Scotland. The pub was great, had a wonderful and spacious outside area with covered and open seating. They were very accommodating of our dog. Had a great meal in the evening, and an equally good breakfast before getting back on the road. The area was beautiful and wish we had more time to roam.

They’re always really friendly. I first stayed here in 2009. I was running late, called ahead and they were kind enough to make me a meal ahead of arriving and warmed it up for me when I got there.

The staff at the Boot and Shoe were lovely - they were friendly and helpful during our stay. The cooked breakfast was excellent. We had booked a table for dinner but unfortunately the table we’d been allocated wasn’t great so we dined elsewhere. The staff were really apologetic and gave us a complimentary round of drinks to make up for this. The room itself was fine. The bed was ok and the room was clean. It felt a bit tired though and needed a bit of updating. A good stay overall, especially thanks to the team at The Boot and Shoe.

Stayed for two nights using the pub as a base for an event at the nearby castle. The staff were very friendly, helpful and couldn’t do enough for me. Room had been warmed (very cold weather), all amenities explained and more. Rooms are spacious, comfortable and have all the expected appliances etc. lovely and clean. Good selection of drinks in the pub, food is excellent and plenty of choice. Lamb was outstanding and extremely generous. Breakfast is equally good, nice selection and well prepared. Staff are the highlight and make a solo traveller feel very welcome. On a snowy, icy night they kept the fire stoked and atmosphere equally warm,

Friendly service, good food, nice bedding and towels. Towels changed and bed made, bins emptied which was nice. HOWEVER Terrible bed, worst I have ever tried to sleep in. Rooms very dated like 1960s and very dark, lovely hair dryer but no socket any where near a mirror. Kettle etc on a dark cubby with no light. Rooms directly above the main bar with no sound proofing. Kitchen smell very strong on bedroom, fat bur ing made my eyes smart kitchen yards away with from bedroom, no door, and little extraction, cigarette smoke coming into bedroom from customers smoking outside pub front door. Booked table in restaurant for a meal, was instead seated in the bar as a single elderly lady not the best place to be seated on a Saturday night. All in all apart from food very disappointing stay.
