Perfectly decent pub accommodation, in a separate building set back from the pub which is ideal in case is worried about noise. Fairly basic facilities (note no toiletries are provided) but a nice touch having a small fridge with free bottled water and proper milk for tea/coffee!

The location is ideal. next to the rail station and walking distance to many restaurants. Service is very good and staff are friendly. The only minor issue is the wifi connection isn't so good.

The rooms were very clean and set up for tea/coffee making with fresh milk in the fridge. Brilliant hair dryer in the room too and powerful shower in the bathroom which was spotless.
The staff gave us a very warm welcome.
We dined in the pub which has an extensive menu choice including a small appetites menu.
The food was excellent, very well presented and tasty. Would highly recommend dining here.

Comfortable quiet room. Appreciated milk and water left in fridge. Also allowed a later checkout on request. Disappointed that the inn was closed at 6 on Sunday night and they don't offer breakfast. However we were there for a funeral so location was excellent.

Excellent food, hot, good choice and reasonably priced. No option to choose breakfast however there is a list in the room detailing menus and prices for nearby establishments who offer breakfast. We opted to visit a large Tesco store less than 5 mins drive away. Pub was closed when we departed and unsure how we could check out therefore simply left the key in the door. Room was a good size and clean. Brita kettle, small table top style fridge and crisp white bed linen and towels. All in all a good stay however exterior very tired and in need of painting.

As a solo traveler I found my stay (two nights) very enjoyable. The room was clean and spacious for a single room. There were all the amenities, fridge, kettle, towels, parking spaces etc. I felt secure even though my room was apart from the main building. I invited my friend to join me for a meal in the restaurant and we both found it to be excellent. The only issue was breakfast wasn’t served but that hasn’t deterred me from recommending the Charlton Inn to my well travelled daughter.

As soon as we arrived the staff couldn’t have been more helpful, and welcoming. Our room was ready and perfect. It’s a continental breakfast, but we were spoiled for choice. The facilities in the room were great.
Beds were very comfortable, great nights sleep and the bathroom was great.
We also had dinner at the Inn and it is one of the friendliest places with fantastic value for money on the food and wonderful ales.
Thanks to all

The accommodation is at a separate block at the rear of the pub. Whilst you can eat your evening meal in the pub there is no option for breakfast (though there maybe an in-room continental option). Room was in poor condition with windows fixings broken and light over shower not working. Fixtures and fittings were very worn and cleanliness was poor. Food in the pub was reasonable.

Great location with really good food, it’s a lovely pub with helpful staff.
But I’ll be honest, the rooms walls were peeling away from the wall, bed wasn’t great which gave me a bad back. Also, the light outside the only window was on all night which kept me up most the night couldn’t tell if it was night or day
But over priced for what it is and for the time of year. But I get it as times are hard at the moment with rates going up.

Bizarrely, we were provided with just one of everything (one towel, one mug etc) though two of us had booked in to a double room. We were in a rush to get to a wedding so didn't have the chance to speak to the staff at the time.

Really comfy double bed. Nice large room and wet room style bathroom. Very nice.
Couldnt get kettle under the tap, so had to fill it using the mug.
Shortage of 13A sockets. One under coffee table for kettle and a double hidden behind the dressing table but only one functional and that was used by the mini fridge. So decisions had to be made regarding which to lose in order to charge phone.
So faulty socket and soap dispenser in shower area wanted to fall off the wall when bottle pumped and sadly no one around in the morning to report it to. (Auto check-out, no reception)
