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 great place to stay and relax with a lovely pub restaurant offering great food and beer. Even the noisy bee nesting in the roof did not affect the stay and as usual the food was excellent.
