A great place to stay.
Accommodation was excellent. Beautifully decorated room and well equipped with tea and coffee, fresh milk, water and lovely toiletries. Could not fault room. Very good choice for breakfast which we enjoyed. Dinner was not so enjoyable and we didn’t feel it was value for money. Staff all very polite and friendly. This is a great place to stay.

Clean, calm and cosy
This was the loveliest little night away with my daughter. Drinking tea and listening to Classic FM in a big, comfy bed was the literal dream. My only observation was that the towel rail was hotter than the 9th circle and I stupidly burnt my arm.

8/10 Very good

Really nice pub, good food and drink. Nice rooms, well maintained. The only negatives were that the matress on my bed was really uncomfortable, past its best by a long way. Also, the price of the food was too high for what it was, very nice but a checken burger is not worth £18.95....
