Staff were great, friendly and helpful. Lunch and evening food was beautiful but not much of a choice on the evening menu for our liking. Breakfast was nice but expected a little more to warrant the price. Beautiful views from the hotel and plenty walks from the hotel as a starting point. Dog friendly too

This was a very friendly place with nice food. It is on a very busy main road so opening windows at night is noisy. Bathroom needed a good clean and some maintenance, new grouting also some hooks would help in the bathroom.

A charming pub B&B with real character. The room was cozy and spotless, and the warm welcome from the staff made us feel instantly at home. Great food, excellent atmosphere, and a wonderfully relaxing stay. Plenty of parking and dog friendly too (make sure you book a standard double room which are let friendly) Highly recommended!
