A nice surprise

Lovely restaurant in a super little village pub. Rooms were nice, but a couple of little oversights stop it getting a full 5 star review. Looking forward to my next stay.

Wonderful Experience

Restaurant and kitchen excellent, staff wonderful. Access to rooms a bit quirky, narrow staircase a bit of a challenge with two small dogs but the room was very nice and no additional charge for the dogs……as it should be in a pet friendly hotel. Plenty of space for walking the dogs around the village and beyond.

Would come again!

The bed was so comfortable! And the bathroom was a good size. Nice and quiet as well. Charlie who checked us in and looked after us was extremely friendly, kInd and very helpful when booking taxis for us. Breakfast was decent! Perfect before a wedding. Highly recommend, would come again and with our dog as it's very dog friendly!
