The pub is friendly with good food and staff. The separate block which houses the bedrooms looks boring but the bedrooms inside are incredibly beautiful. I enjoyed underfloor heating in the bathroom and the lovely views of the countryside.

A great experience staying in this hotel. The room was clean and warm (It was very icy and cold during my stay - so arriving to a warm room was very welcome - and not usual in my experience of other hotels) The food in the restaurant was delicious with lots of choice and very reasonably priced, and the breakfast was excellent.

A classic country pub with new upmarket bedrooms that impressed. The breakfast in the bar was good although my brown toast was dry and burnt. For the money it is good value and the bedrooms are the best aspect.

A lovely find…

I was pleasantly surprised by how lovely my room was. Obviously a lot of thought had gone into the decor. I had a good nights sleep. The area was very quiet. The menu in the pub was good and varied. I had the most perfect lamb chop! I hope I might have a reason to return!

Everything just felt a little overpriced

Was working in the area and this seemed a good option, I was particularly keen on the fact it advertised having an EV charger. Unfortunately when we arrived that wasn’t working. And whilst the place was ok, for the price of it you would expect just that bit more. The food in the restaurant was ok, the breakfast was ok, most things we just ok.
