Pleasant host, parking away from the road, nice food. We had a room at the front in very hot weather, so had the window open and there was no noise from outside a very peaceful night. Ideal for our 1 night stay with friends.

Its a village pub. Vegi food was disgraceful but fine if you want a supermarket quiche warmed up and you want to pay £16 for it with re-fried chips! Window was held open by a block of wood! Bed was very rock and roll!
