Great location, fabulous food and friendly staff. Car park very tight for larger family vehicles and room was cold with no heating control staff quickly resolved the matter. Would definitely visit again in this historic inn.

Staff was extremely professional and wonderfully helpful; quickly reassigned me to another room when an issue arose and helped book me a taxi for my departure. I would certainly return for my ‘third’ visit as its great value for money with ‘first-rate’ customer-service!
