Ideal all round!
A lovely stop over to visit friends on our way to Devon. The food is amazing. Everyone found something they really enjoyed and with complex food preferences that is really good going. The rooms are ideal for dog owners and our little Bobby made plenty of friends. Breakfast was also brilliant and kept us going all day.

Lovely place to stay x
This place is a little gem. Staff were excellent and friendly. As we have read in previous comments many staff are young but they are all friendly and helpful. They are obviously learning well and we had no issues. The young lad who takes the breakfast order always greeted us with a smile and nothing was a problem. Food at the Malt shovel is absolutely amazing and extremely good value for money. We would have loved to stay longer just to have worked our way through the menu. Excellent quality and would definitely recommend eating there. Our room was spacious, very clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again and will recommend to others. Next time we can take our dog knowing they are dog friendly too 🙂
