10/10 Excellent

Very comfortable bed and delicious food for both dinner and breakfast. Lots of parking. There was a tour group being booked in when we arrived, and only one person on the service counter. That staff member was patient, friendly and efficient. The white horse pub, a short walk away, also had good food.
