Great stay!

The family room was perfect, two separate rooms adjoined by a little corridor. The food was great, very tasty and good portion size! Staff very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely pub stay in great location

Lovely room. Very comfortable bed and all very clean. Little bit more attention needed under toilet rim. Great breakfast and location. Sadly shower was a nightmare. It banged constantly (even woke up next door!) and the water pressure was awful which is the only reason for my rating.

A pleasant few days

A very pleasant, comfortable B&B. Ground floor room was spacious & well furnished but somewhat noisy from the main front door & the guests in the above room. Floors could do with sound proofing fitted. Good breakfast provided & other meals available at the attached pub. Staff were very pleasant & helpful for the most part.

A Brilliant Stay

Just had a brilliant overnight stay here. The staff were outstanding, the restaurant is charming and food was simply excellent. Great value too. Accommodation is in a separate house next door, a 25 yard or so walk from the main building. We were in room 1 facing on to the main road. You could hear the occasional car but it was never a problem. The room and the hall have clearly recently been refurbished to a very good standard, it was well heated and there is a big shower cubicle in the en-suite. Large TV, good WiFi and tea/coffee facilities complete the package. Fresh milk available in a fridge in the hallway. We had a DB&B package and how nice to not have restrictions on certain dishes - choose anything for all 3 courses. Breakfast quality was also excellent, using top quality produce (as evidenced by a local delivery of fresh mushrooms just as we were eating breakfast). Highly recommended.
