Way too noisy unfortunately. I was unlucky to get a room at the front which is on the main road and so traffic noise was awful. Thank goodness for noise cancellation iPods. Apart from that the room was spacious and clean with excellent amenities

A little Gem of an Inn, and the winner is it is very dog friendly. The room was big for 2 adults and 2 older children and a dog. Lovely decor and a great location. Service was great, we also eat an evening meal at the pub which was great after a day of exploring.
