An old coaching inn that has been gutted to remove all traces of character. That said scrupulously clean, helpful staff, good bedroom (6) up a lot of stairs. Breakfast good (stick to traditional), other options smothered in gloopy inferior Hollandaise sauce or similar. Dinner rather ordinary. Altogether rather overrated in other reviews. Good but not special.

Was very pleasantly surprised by the exceptional cleanliness and service in this hotel. It has all the welcoming warmth of a great British pub, but with the feel of a four star hotel. We had dinner both nights in the restaurant and breakfast both mornings, the food was very good. We were very impressed and would definitely stay again. Highly recommend !
