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!

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.
