Chris the owner always makes you feel welcome. Dining in the pub is always a tasty experience, as is the selection of ales on the bar. Rooms are tasteful in good shape, and comfortable. Parking is easy, great value for money

Victoria

Disliked: Staff & service
Very hostile welcome will return to area but not accommodate. Very rude , looked down on you but quick to take your money and just not welcoming , felt it was an effort for them to be polite. Very dated room for what I paid considering where I stayed previously in comparison. Certainly not child friendly that’s a lie on the website and the breakfast lady was just rude.

Highly recommended

Absolutely gorgeous find, the owner is welcoming & extremely hospitable. Room was outstanding would definitely recommend to eat here. Even made us a breakfast pack up. Only slight point was the noise but to be expected as we were above the bar … but don’t let that put you off. Superb stay highly recommended

The hotel was a good base for the surrounding area. It was very clean and the staff were lovely and helpful. I've given it 4 stars on facilities because our room was quite small and didn't have a lot of room to manoevre around. Also we didn't realise when we booked that the pub didn't do food on the Sunday or Monday evenings and the bar closed early too. Overall a pleasant stay.
