Had a very short cosy stay for a work event at The Running Horses. It was unfortunately a little too cosy for the heatwave as there was no a/c but just a little fan in the room. The bed was very comfy, loved the bathroom - was very clean and some lovely complimentary toiletries. Thank you!

Beautiful old property in an idyllic setting. Friendly and helpful staff. Food good on the whole. Shower cold this morning in both rooms, which was disappointing. Lovely large bath sheets. Coffee machine in each room. Enjoyed our stay.

Charming little pub with lots of cool original features. Large bedroom and a comfortable bed. Everything works really well. Now, the food at this place is honestly on another level. I have never had any food inside a pub this good. This pub is well known for serving up some of the best food. Locals are highly complimentary about the dining experience here.
