Lovely country pub with great food in the restaurant. We were room only and breakfast was so expensive we only did it once; definitely not worth the price of breakfast. Nice rooms and lovely big bathrooms.

Charming village location and nice style

This is a really lovely pub and rooms above the pub in an exceptionally charming village. Room we had was lovely - nice products, spacious bathroom. The breakfast was charged separately but was really good - evening meal service not quite the same standard I would say.

Spacious rooms, needed a dust!

The rooms are spacious and cosy. The desk area could have done with a dust and the shower fitments were a little leaky, but mainly a great place with fine food in the bar/restaurant!
