The staff and owners made me feel very welcome and made my stay very pleasant. They even made sure I had a good breakfast before I left early in the morning. The stables were very clean and spacious as well as comfortable. I slept like a baby.

Fantastic Flying Fish

The room was lovely. Each one has it’s own parking space in front. Loads of space, bath and separate walk-in shower. Tea and Nespresso provided too. Huge bed - bigger than a superking - and really, really comfy. We were late arriving but Kate had been in to turn the heating on and came over to make sure everything was ok. Tasty breakfast in the pub the following morning. Very amiable and relaxing atmosphere. We’d definitely stay again and highly recommend

Spacious and comfortable in a lovely setting

We stayed for one night en route home from a holiday and visiting relatives. The inn was in a lovely position with great views over the countryside. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable with good amenities. Parking was right outside. We had dinner in the restaurant which had a good and interesting menu and we enjoyed our meal. Breakfast was very good. We would certainly recommend this inn and are keen to go back for a longer stay.
