Been here 3/4 times, and looking forward to next stay. Food is really good. Service is excellent. Only issue this time was someone clearly had too much to drink in the village and people were shouting in the early hours of the morning. This woke me and i struggled to get back to sleep, but nothing to do with the inn.

Second time we've stayed and can't wait to go back. The food here is delicious. I cannot recommend it enough. We stayed in the superior suite again and it was delightful. Such a comfy bed to.sleep onand just a lovely stay in general. Staff were excellent and extremely friendly. Location is lovely and very quiet, but worth the journey. You need to stay here and eat here

The owners were really terrific. Very helpful with all sorts of questions.

From first sight of this very pretty hotel with its beautiful hanging baskets and very attractive outside terrace to the very warm welcome and check in I knew we’d made a good choice. Such a peaceful location, very nicely appointed bedrooms, great menu choice in the evening and at breakfast - all was very very good. Of course a hotel cannot be successful simply by nature of its nicely appointed public areas - it needs great staff - and everyone we met during our two night stay was without exception a credit to the business. We hope to return soon.

Room was really good and comfortable. Overlooked car park. Excellent bath/shower room. Didnt have evening meal as hotel had hen or stag party booked in. Also as I have limited appetite choice was restricted. Overall would certainly recommend staying here also dog friendly so daughters family could bring their dog and all atebrsakfast together
