The pub was in a charming, rural location but easy to find. Lovely gardens. We ate dinner the first night and it was so good we booked for the next night. Bedroom comfy and well supplied. We’ll be back.

Lovely place

Booked a 2 night stay to go to Plumpton races. Sadly races suspended due to weather so decided to leave and make the long journey home to Manchester. This is no reflection on hotel. Room was large, clean and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Staff friendly and efficient
