Wonderful, peaceful stay
We stayed in the barn for 3 days and had a wonderfully relaxing time. The food at the pub is outstanding. Best breakfast selection I have ever experienced. The chef is clearly extremely passionate about their craft.

Great place to stay. Worth noting breakfast was included but the confirmation email stated no cooked breakfast on Mondays. No mention of this before booking. Still great room and would recommend it.

We stayed in the barn and it was beautiful. Double volume, exposed brickwork and a log burner. Well equipped kitchen with coffee machine and dishwasher. Quality bedding and immaculate, they even left a couple of bottles of the local IPA for us, which I really annoyingly left in the fridge!! Staff were super friendly, especially Annie who was lovely, and the food and drink were exceptional. We will be back.

Charming picturesque location Dinner let it down though - as a guest we should have been told to pre-order from the menu as there was little choice left by the time we got seated at the table
