We usually stay at the Bridge Inn but needed to be near family in an arbnb. The room was lovely, comfy bed next time I would request a room at the back of the hotel as we needed the window open in this heat and the traffic, although not heavy did disturb us. The breakfast was fabulous, quality ingredients. We sat in the lovely conservatory. The hotel is perfectly situated for the village. Will definitely stay again.
