Lovely staff but that does not compensate for a small room, no towels in the room and no breakfast option.

Good for overnight stay

Room was clean but no wardrobe and bathroom room was along corridor also church clock chiming all night did not help next time will have a room at rear of house away from road noise and the clock. Other wise all good for convenience and a good bar.

Comfortable room, basic but with all the necessary inclusions needed. Friendly staff and locals. Nice outside area. Excellent food and good value for money. Small car park but a free public park within 5 mins walk. Nice local amenities as well.

We stayed in the small twin room, which is as it clearly states is small, but perfectly functional. The bathroom is separate, which did not bother us at all. Very nice owner and staff, nothing was too much trouble and we had a great stay and would not hesitate to return.

Historic..

When we arrived the roads were busy but got a parking space so was good as there is free parking just walking distance from The Whitehorse inn, the rooms were clean but needed a bit of TLC in my opinion other than that it was comfortable and a beautiful place to stay, the owner was awesome and the staff were great, with a friendly atmosphere.. 😊

The en suite room we had was minimalist -- a bed was about all. The bathroom had not been properly cleaned --poop in the toilet when we checked in. The village is lovely however.
