Unfortunately was unable to stay due to a burst water pipe. Popped in for a quick drink and a nose around. Lovely pub. Good beer. Would’ve been better if could have been offered a different room.

We loved our stay. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The lady doing breakfasts could not do more to help. We spoke with several employees and locals and they were all great. We had a good meal in the evening and the breakfast offering was excellent. Thank you to all.
