Lovely experience

10.0

second time staying here, and the experience was as good as the first one. Dinner was great, and we had the lamb as the main course. Very generous and delicious breakfast as well. The view of the garden and river from the dining room is lovely, and creates a very serene atmosphere. I also enjoyed walking alongside the river bank and the garden with my family. Will definitely recommend this hotel and will try to go there again some other time.

A good experience I’d be happy to repeat.

10.0

Close to the village but far enough away to be quiet. Good shower room and separate toilet on the ground floor. Very good food and views over the river.

The staff and owner Martin and Michelle are so welcoming.

10.0

It’s a beautiful building in a fabulous location within walking distance of the village with good parking and walks with a lovely river where you can see ducks, fish, a squirrel and sometimes a fox in the garden.
