Stayed here for a couple of nights over a long weekend and was very impressed. The rooms are very nice, clean and well decorated, accessed via a small flight of stairs around the back, away from any noise of the pub main building. Plenty of guest car parking, very good food and drinks at decent prices and friendly helpful staff. would stay here again and recommend to others. Excellent choice form the breakfast menu and it was all good.

Great stay - we were only there for one night, but it was comfortable and clean. The morning staff was lovely and made sure we had coffees and hot chocolates to go because we had to hit the road very early.
