“Exceptional service from staff and comfortable accommodation”
Staff were very attentive and kind to my disabled mother getting around inside the pub, and for this alone I would return. The cottage was small but comfortable and the view was lovely.

“A real pleasure to stay at this lovely old inn.”
The location was deep in the countryside, as we’d hoped. We loved the decor, it was sophisticated, tasteful and somewhat unusual. Everything was selected with great care, complementing the venerable age of the hotel. Our room was gorgeous, aesthetically pleasing, a real pleasure to spend the night there. The restaurant food (and breakfast) was good too. The staff were friendly and helpful. Returning!
