The stars for this venue are for the staff. Friendly and helpful. The room was clean and quiet; the bed comfortable. But, the room was too small for our liking. Perfectly acceptable for one night but could not envisage staying longer. Evening meal was fine and reasonably priced. Breakfast was OK.

Lovely location. Quiet. Room a little tired.
Lovely location and pub. Cosy drinks by the fire and lovely atmosphere. Wasn’t to keen on the two flights of stairs that didn’t have handrails all the way up (at bottom and top) - only difficult at top and bottom as I have recently had a hip replacement. Room was okay - just a little awkward due to the shape of the room. Second bed didn’t have a side table. The radiator was against the bed so it had to be switched off.
It was clean and the bottled water was nice touch. Breakfast was cooked to order. Good choice.

Friendly, warm, comfortable.
A friendly welcome, help with the cases, a spotless and comfortable room that looked to have been recently refurbished, a good range of choices for breakfast with excellent sausages and bacon.
That's the hotel. The pub - good beer, a fine fire to sit near, spotless with no sticky patches on the bar top or on the floor.
The owners should be justifiably proud of what they provide.

Clean and convenient
Convenient for M6. Rooms clean although smaller than they appeared in photos. Staff very helpful and found a wireless charger for my son's 'phone which had a dodgy charging socket.

Excellent stay
We were just passing through for the night but definitely made the right choice staying at this hotel. Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful and the room was comfortable and pleasant. We also ate in the pub and food and service were great as was breakfast in the morning. The landlord really went out of his way to make the stay comfortable. Highly recommended.
