Great pub with rooms!

Great little place to stay. The modern rooms are separate to the pub and clean, comfortable and quiet! Great breakfast and a superb view over the hills if eating outside. They were very dog friendly in both the pub and the room.

Relaxing Holiday

We found everyone at the Inn very friendly and helpful. The room was excellent the only grumble was because I am not very tall, I had problems geting in and out of a very deep bath. The food was very good. We would definitely stay again.

Our stay was ok. The room was spacious and the welcome was pleasant. However, we were disappointed to see and hear a fight break out in the car park and when we woke in the morning to get ready for the wedding we were attending, there was no hot water which was extremely frustrating.

Great room very modern and new,staff seemed as tho they had only taken over the place a little while and not up to speed on dealing with booking residents. Bit of practice and when other rooms are finished then great hotel.

Five stars. More than five stars if it were an option!! The staff at this hotel are absolute legends, especially Lucy and the chef. We aren’t local to the area and stayed at the hotel this past weekend to attend a wedding. We had to ask for an early check in to accommodate us, and sure enough our room was ready as had been promised despite our early arrival. At the point we were getting ready, disaster struck as my partner discovered he had left his suit trousers at home! Without hesitating the team sprung into action: the chef offering his own suit from upstairs, Lucy immediately drove home to collect two suits, one from her partner the other her father, and had somehow returned within ten minutes of this all starting. Thankfully one of the suits fitted — we cannot begin to thank them enough for their help. They truly saved the day! To top it all off, the room was fantastic, and the breakfast amazing. If we ever return to the area, this is the only property we would ever consider staying at!
