Lovely Stay

Lovely room, spacious, light and modern. It was very clean with a comfortable king size bed and en suite shower. Check-in at the bar was quick and easy. We ate in the bar that evening and had breakfast there the next day. I thought the food was rather expensive and a bit underwhelming, but my husband enjoyed the food. I would definitely stay there again but, maybe, find somewhere else to eat. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Fantastic property, really comfy bed and spacious room. Really enjoyed our stay. Only thing that could be improved was that the fan was covered in dust. Coming out of winter this is understandable

6/10 Good

Nice spacious room as the photos showed, staff were friendly but busy. Car parking was an issue I specifically booked a place with parking but it was difficult to find and not clear in the instructions before hand. That’s the only real point I have everything else was as I expected thank you.

A very nice country pub and hotel.

A really impressive stay with great service and friendly staff. The room was beautiful and very comfortable. We had dinner in the restaurant which was of a very high standard. Couldn’t fault it and close to the airport for an early departure. Highly recommended.

Perfect long weekend

Lovely rooms above a great pub with a cracking breakfast. Everyone we dealt with was so helpful and friendly. The area was perfect for walking and exploring and you could reach other pubs and restaurants by foot. We would definitely recommend and are planning a return trip.
