Very good experience overall. The staff were very helpful, for example providing a fridge for our baby's milk and helping sterilise his dummies. We had dinner in the lovely historic pub, very nice food. Would definitely stay here again.

Very good, the large rooms are cabins in the grounds of the pub. Very quiet, plenty of parking and EV charging. Good food in the pub restaurant, but we didn't have breakfast as heading to Le Shuttle. Staff friendly and efficient. Room clean and dog friendly.
