Hotel was lovely and the host was very friendly. Food was good value, and the atmosphere in the pub was great. Information when booking was misleading, as had to pay more when arrived for an en-suite room as this was not clear on the website. Host was very accommodating when realised! Would stay here again if in the area.

The shared bathroom for 3 rooms is ok but the finishing touches need to be looked at, a mat by the sink that used to be white certainly needs updating. The rooms are clean and comfortable with great views over the village green.

Excellent room and food for an overnight stay

The en suite room was comfortable and well appointed with a generous bathroom. The downstairs restaurant and bar was ideal for an informal meal and a few drinks with a good variety of menu choices. My fish and chips was excellent assisted by a few pints of ale. Breakfast in the quaint breakfast room was also exceptional with good quality food and coffee in a friendly environment . I will definitely come again if I need to stay in the area in the future
