Excellent accommodation in the prettiest village

Dinner menu only had a choice of pizzas on it. Very good pizzas but if you didn’t fancy pizza you’d be pretty stuck

Beautiful location. Friendly people

6.0

Breakfast was nice but as someone who doesn't eat meat the only cooked option for me was eggs. They were very tasty. There was a display of cheeses etc and twice I reported a fly sitting on the food. Was left uncovered.

There were two antique single beds in my room. One I struggle to sleep in a small bed but also the beds creaked really badly every time I moved. They look lovely but not practical. The lock on my door was in a bad state. The handle was loose on the outside and it was very difficult to turn the key. I was locked in for 5 minutes the morning I was leaving. I called the pub for help but it just went to answerphone. Its lucky there wasn't a real emergency 😕
