Overall great little place to stay

9.0

Perfect location, staff friendly and attentive, very nice food.

Due to extremely hot weather the room was very very hot and fan provided barely made the difference.

Lovely old Inn close to the church was ideal for a Wedding stay

9.0

Chosen due to its close proximity to the church for a summer wedding and the pub was also used as a muster point for the guests which was handy. Plenty of private car parking and accommodated an early check in before the ceremony. A historic building offering good value, very friendly staff and a lovely outdoor seating area out the back. The cooked breakfast was freshly cooked to order and very good quality (you order what you want and at what time at check in) - it was delicious and much needed after a few too many beers at the reception. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Nothing really. Like all historic buildings/Inns the floors are somewhat creaky so felt a bit self-conscious creeping in to the room late at night re; the other guests and the shower over the bath didn't appear to be working in the room while we were there but nothing that marred our visit at all.
