What a find!Karen and her super team hosted a large, three generation family celebration in the Courtyard Barn.Everyone commented that the food was excellent - which included burgers, fish & chips, pasta dishes and the amazing pizzas.I'm very envious of the residents of Harbottle having the Star Inn as their local.

Lovely pint of pale ale. However the Sunday lunch was pretty average. Except the swede baby food, which shouldn?t have been served. The pizzas are amazing, though. They do their full menu on Sundays so avoid the roast and get pizza instead!

Me and my partner have just returned from an impromptu one night stay at this brilliant place.The room was cozy and complete with everything you may need. Also dog friendly which will be a bonus for us in the future upon a definite return.The food is a massive 10/10, our dinner was worth every penny, words couldn?t do it justice. The included breakfast was great, cereals, pastries, English breakfast, fruit juice, tea and coffee smashing way to start your day.We will return without a doubt. Friendly staff, amazing food and a very comfortable stay, you couldn?t ask for more.

What a lovely friendly place, we were unlucky enough to have a breakdown on our car on holiday, no mobile phone cover in the area, local rarity....a phone box was out of order. Beginning to despair. Pub was shut at this time,, but there is a shop at the rear. Da o I tentatively asked if they would be kind enough to allow me to make a phonecall to the R*C for help. I was allowed use of the private phone but not allowed to pay for the call. There was an expected delay in attendance by the 'association' of about 2 hours. The staff very kindly offered my wife, dog and self warmth, coffee and shelter in the interim. We very happily accepted the kind offer. Too cut a long story considerably short,7 hours.....yes 7 hours later rescue arrived and we were able to proceed. We had a wonderful home cooked meal in very pleasant, comfortable and historical surroundings. We were made VERY welcome, the hospitality was second to none and at no time were we made to feel awkward over our extended visit to this country haven. We WILL be back when next in the area... ....thankyou so very much Rex,Mandy and Molly (pup) from Gloucestershire.

Quality pizza, ambiance and staff. As a family, we headed to the pub because the appeal of the menu and positive reviews. Welcome was warm and service was faultless. We had pizzas, fish and a vegan calzone. All were perfect. Desserts were tasty too. Will definitely return.

What a hidden gem. Joined family for supper on a dark October evening and was greeted with friendly staff and a warm atmosphere. We all selected from the specials menu and returned 4 clean plates. My pasta dish was amazing and has made it onto my top 5 of all time. Perfectly cooked and presented. If only I lived locally to return. Would highly recommend.

Only opened in August the Star inn accommodation was spot on, comfy beds warm room and a great shower. Very dog friendly and ours was made to feel right at home. The food in the bar was 1st class and delicious we ate 2 out of our 3 nights there. Breakfast was excellent and filled us for the day ahead. Note the bar is closed Mondays so no meal that night. Over all service was spot, its worth also noting this is a remote spot with no mobile signal, the WiFi was excellent in rooms at 60mb. It was also remote which made it perfect for some Star spotting as it is pitch black at night.

NEW YORK/NEW JERSEY PIZZA?The Real Deal! By some miracle, the chef at the Starr Inn has accomplished what I had thought impossible?a genuine, mouth-watering, oil floating on the cheese, thin crust New York style pizza in Europe! The crust is home made and hand-thrown; it?s very thin but stands up to a slice without drooping. Just enough of the highest quality mozzarella. Definitely at least two Guide Michelin pizza stars?worth a detour! If you miss the real thing, or have never been to New York to taste one, get to the Starr Inn right away! You?ll be glad you did!

We fully endorse the previous reviews. We had an excellent lunch after a challenging walk. There is an extensive and interesting menu of freshly cooked food. Friendly and helpful service, highly recommended and definitely well worth a visit.
