An excellent and pretty property with everything you could need in the room. The host was exceptional in making us feel welcome and cooking delicious breakfasts and evening meals. We will definitely stay there again next time we’re visiting the showground for the antique fair as it is situated so close to it.

The property is kind of off the beaten path and a little dated. The room was small but comfortable. The landlord was friendly and helpful. We only stayed for one night on out way to Bath. So it served the purpose it was needed for.
