Great pub with excellent service
A lovely old 'proper' village pub. Great service and food (just the right sized portions for dinner and breakfast as well. Room was initially warm (we were fine in January without the radiator on all weekend) and the mattress was very soft and bouncy (for us at least compared to what we are used to).

Nice place
Nice little place, food was good, shower in room was excellent.
Very small TV, and the bed was a little too soft for my liking.
For a one night stay it was good.

Fabulous food and dog friendly
Great last minute one night stay. The food for both dinner and the cooked breakfast the next morning was fantastic and we loved the post dinner drink sitting by the fire. All the rooms are dog friendly and they made our Vizsla feel very welcome with dog bowls, beds and treats all provided.
