Looked after like we were family
Amazing stay! Leah and all the staff made our family so welcome the moment we walked in the door. The kids were looked after showing them the skittle alley, darts board and tele, and introduced to all the dogs who they loved! We had plans nearby in the evening but could have happily stayed in the lovely pub all night!

Wonderful from start to finish! Beautiful rooms which are set round the back of the pub and are more like little houses!
Felt so safe and slept so well, the beds are like clouds!
Beautiful quaint little pub where we had our breakfast the next day which was cooked to perfection! Leah was very attentive and the perfect host.
The rooms were very clean and had everything you need!

We were warmly welcomed into a really lovely room with everything that we needed. Room was clean and comfortable. Food was delicious and plentiful, and kids needs were looked after. We were given friendly and and helpful advice when we asked about where to go fossil hunting. A lovely village too. We even bumped into a lady who was on her way to unlock the church and gave us a tour of the 1000 and 800 year old carvings!

The welcome from the proprietors and locals was incredible. The Inn is in the most picturesque village and Paul and Jacki were brilliant hosts as well as George the dog and Leah their staff member nothing was ever a trouble. Will return if ever back in the UK.

We chose to stay here for the convenience of having the bar and dining on site at the end of a busy day. This worked on Saturday but when we went to eat at 7pm on the Sunday evening we were told that the pub is closed on Sunday evenings. This hadn't been advertised when booking or even mentioned when on site which was disappointing

Room was very nice, clean and a decent size. Again the pub & forecourt were very nice & the children enjoyed playing there with their very friendly dog called George. Food was excellent. Owners are extremely friendly, but at the same time very professional. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in the area and our family will definitely return at some point - 10 out of 10
