A beautiful country pub, great atmosphere

We stayed in the shepherds hut in the garden and had a wonderful time. The location of the pub is just stunning.The garden is beautiful and the outside bar is amazing. Our host was very friendly, even with our grumpy dog.

We really enjoyed our stay . Steve was a lovely host and his breakfast was delicious. The kitchen is being replaced and renewed but we had a delicious homemade pizza one night and breakfast was served from the kitchen in the garden bar, beautiful scenery and so peaceful, it couldn’t be improved on.

We had a lovely stay surrounded by nature, quiet and relaxing. The staff were all lovely, the food was great and eating al fresco was a bonus. Our room could have been a bit cleaner and the bathroom had a bit of a musty smell but it is an old pub so goes with the territory. The bed was comfortable and we slept peacefully and well.
