Very pleasant stay. Food was great, vegetables cooked rather than just hot. Only bit that jarred was the noise echoing around the restaurant and breakfast room when busy. Modern minimalist styles with very little soft furnishings might suit some but we prefer not having to shout at each other during a meal.

The staff were nice. The room was nice however I would say the food is good but overpriced and the bar prices are extremely expensive for a rural bed-and-breakfast, almost 8 pounds for a pint of lager seems excessive. £14 for a full English breakfast with one egg, one rasher of bacon, and one sausage But overall, a nice location and a nice little hotel
