Property was very pet friendly ( Monty even had his own sausage for breakfast free). Small caravan/ motorhome site adjacent to pub, only four letting rooms but excellent value for money,so book well in advance to secure your room, will definitely be returning.

Lovely pub/restaurant with an accommodation.
Room was small, comfortable and quiet. Tea/coffee in room.
Freshly cooked full English breakfast was really nice.
Staff friendly and helpful.
Nice outdoor areas for when the sun shines.
Plenty of room to park.
When we stayed the restaurant was very busy and fully booked, so recommend booking in advance to secure a table.
Would happily stay here again.

Room was clean and fairly well equipped… bathroom a tad dated but cleaned and functional… staff friendly… pub meal good … breakfast good, cheap eggs though and no coffee refill offered … all in all good value for money
