Very friendly welcome from Kayleigh who was very kind and helpful. She served an excellent breakfast too. The only negative was the towels and bedding. They felt below standard due to age.

Wasn’t worth £100 for the night. The room was nice and they did have complementary tea and coffee but the price of the room doesn’t include any breakfast. I read like some similar reviews that I had seen on the booking that it did. The bar/restaurant attached does nice food but the atmosphere may not to be everyone’s cup of tea. Locals had control of the music and it was very 90’s clubland. I would stay again but only if they reduced the price.

A rural gem with some life about it!

A characterful village inn hotel, recently refurbished by the owners. Very friendly, relaxed welcome and service from Kayleigh & Marcus and all their staff. Room had a lovely view through the village and towards the hillside. Well appointed and very tastefully decorated ensuite room too. The bar itself is busy with a good selection and found everyone to be very friendly both in the bar and in general around the village, no-one passes you without saying "good morning". In short, very enjoyable stay and look forward to returning in the future

A great quality stay.

We had a great time - the hosts made us feel very welcome. We requested a pack lunch which was delivered with our breakfast hamper. Extreamly good value for money and a comfortable stay in a lovely room.
