Very pet friendly staff were super food was excellent. Bedroom was strange in the fact had a small wet room with loo which was not the cleanest and water puddled. Decor was tired and carpet worn. It’s an old building circa 17th c but has a modern twist with brightly coloured walls etc.. a little confused.

Check in very good. Staff were efficient in getting us to our room. Room very small and low ceilings. Very hot the day we stayed and they provided us with a fan. Bathroom had a great shower. Breakfast was superb!

Wonderful Experience

Restaurant and kitchen excellent, staff wonderful. Access to rooms a bit quirky, narrow staircase a bit of a challenge with two small dogs but the room was very nice and no additional charge for the dogs……as it should be in a pet friendly hotel. Plenty of space for walking the dogs around the village and beyond.

A nice surprise

Lovely restaurant in a super little village pub. Rooms were nice, but a couple of little oversights stop it getting a full 5 star review. Looking forward to my next stay.

Overall a nice place to stay

The restaurant/bar was really modern and comfortable. The breakfast was great and plenty of choice. The room was very nice although a little dark but coped. The down side was there was no hot water for a shower either in the morning or evening. The other thing missing was biscuits to go with the drinks and our tea bags was never replenished so went without. We could have gone downstairs and asked them to be replaced but other places we have stayed at they are replenished daily. The positive though is that ‘real’ was offered instead of UHT 👍
