Overall a good hotel for our overnight stay,

Overall a good hotel for our overnight stay, staff attentive, two sets of steep stairs to get up to the bedrooms, (Maybe a problem for some) bedrooms clean & well equipped, shower ok but not a power shower and no grab rails which are needed. Good breakfast choices with well cooked using quality ingrediencies.

Nice setting, and charming building. Rooms were nice, but common areas and entrance to rooms felt a little unloved. Staff were very helpful, especially with my delayed arrival.

Second time we have stayed here. Ate in the evening and had breakfast. The staff were very good and friendly and the food was excellent. We actually stayed in the same room on both occasions, was like going down memory lane. Would definitely stay again, if in the area.

Loved it, would visit again!

Wanted to stay somewhere with a rural charm, and this did not disappoint! Staff very friendly and helpful. We did the half board which offered great value. Proper pub food, reasonably priced and excellent quality. Same can be said about breakfast. Great location to explore the area and walks nearby. Only slight downside were that the walls were quite thin so you could hear movements from neighbouring rooms.

2 night stay

It was a very nice stay. Excellent service from the staff and food was also excellent. Modern decor throughout which was excellent. The only thing we noticed was the minor finishing touches ie snagging.
