Excellent 1 night stay

Lots of good details and home made stuff. Bed good, shower amazing. Food was a highlight. The room (at the back) was not very soundproof - so could hear most of neighbours convos.

Perfect!

Picture-perfect, cozy, welcoming, with friendly staff, excellent breakfasts and great beers - we spent a lovely couple of days here. Nice touches like fresh milk for your room if you'd like to make your own coffee in the morning. And the village shop is right next door if you need anything.

My daughters and I stayed here for 2 nights and absolutely loved the property. It was so quiet and had a lovely country feel. The restaurant was excellent, some of the best food we had while we were in England. Our breakfast was included in the stay and it was also excellent. We have such fond memories of our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful cabin past the potting shed in a rural gastro-pub setting. Set well enough away from the main premises that you don't feel overlooked or disturbed. Staff were lovely, great location, food was also very good (although I'd avoid the vegan dessert if I went again). Bathroom facilities in-line with the tiny-home aesthetic - bear this in mind if you intend to spend a lot of time in the bath, I suppose? Would go again!
