This is a hidden gem of a hotel, it was very reasonably priced for the good size of the room and facilities, the staff were all really friendly and helpful and it was lovely and quiet. We had a peaceful evening stroll by the stream and enjoyed drinks outside the front of the hotel in the cool. We would definitely recommend this hotel and will be back to try the food.

Will be great in the summer

The location is out in the fens and quite remote making it extremely peaceful. The only diabetics to my stay was the temperature of the room which barely got above 16 degrees despite the electric radiator being on.

We stayed for a night for my birthday and my father in laws birthday and we spent the afternoon in front of the fire which was so cosy and relaxing. We then had dinner and had the famous ribs…we were all blown away by the quantity and quality of meat. The staff were incredibly friendly! The room we stayed in was huge and comfortable. Definitely will be returning! A fabulous stay.
