Charming historic country pub draped in wisteria at this time of year. Our room was in a modern courtyard which blended very well with the original building. Room clean and well planned. Excellent breakfast - nice thick bacon and delicious sausages.

Staff are friendly and the drink and food were really nice. Rooms are very well done but I stayed in one room above the pub and the shower had very little pressure. The rooms over the other side of the car park are more modern and really nice
