Excellent place to stay at. In fact I was very surprised to see the dog welcome pack in the room and would recommend to anyone with a dog to stay there. Apart from a stain on pillowcase which didn’t bother me too much, the place was very clean and staff very friendly. Much appreciated for the two night stay.

Hidden gem!

What a hidden gem! Came for a one night break with my husband and two children. Staff were really friendly, beautiful setting, food in the restaurant was tasty and the room (room 8) was perfect for 2 adults and 2 children. We will definitely be back!

The room was perfect as were the various snugs and restaurant areas..Staff were attentive without being annoying and they all did their jobs with a smile..They are a real asset to this business. Evening meal (Duck) was the best 'pub' meal we've eaten in a while, very simple but really well cooked and presented.

Excellent service. Beautiful grounds at the back. Staff very friendly and helpful. Very clean. Delicious food. Comfortable rooms. Suggest that the vine on the roof and front wall of the house is cut back. Front parking area of the original building needs tidying and the original front door needs repainting.

The bedroom we stayed in was immaculate, but the tables, cups, glasses & cutlery in the restaurant were not so clean. The continental breakfast & croissants were very disappointing.
