Comfortable Stay

warm welcome tasty food convenient location good breakfast

The staff provided a warm welcome. The food in the pub was very tasty and reasonably priced. The location was convenient for visiting family nearby and the room provided was clean. Breakfast was good with nice scrambled eggs and excellent coffee.

The water pressure in the shower could have been slightly better.

helpful staff clean bedrooms delicious food faulty tv poor pressure missing instructions

the staff was amazing. i asked if the tap water was safe for my little dogs and they checked immediately it comes straight from the mains. the converted stables into bedrooms worked really well i found them clean. the food was superb too, i enjoyed every meal.

the tv in my room did not work i was disappointed. the water pressure in the shower was poor i struggled to wash properly. all the amenities were turned off when i arrived there were no instructions i had to figure it out myself
