Comfortable, good food, great service

Comfortable and good food with quick service. Plenty of sockets in the room, in useful places, which is great when travelling for business and having work to do. There wasn't a desk as it was a small single room, but there was a socket, with USB charger on the wall by the bed and a cushion to use, so working sitting on the bed was comfortable and convenient.

Anniversary Escape

Lovely quiet break for our 40th Anniversary. The hotel was superb, nicely appointed room with views over the village green. The highlight however was the superb food, a deceptively simple menu made with quality fresh local ingredients and executed with flair and panache. Even the side salads were exceptional !!! Our hosts were very welcoming, attentive without being intrusive and their wee gem of an establishment well worth a visit either staying or for a lovely meal or preferably both.
