Lovely restaurant in a super little village pub. Rooms were nice, but a couple of little oversights stop it getting a full 5 star review. Looking forward to my next stay.

The rooms are very tastefully decorated, clean and secure. The food is superb - I have stayed here a few times and it is always presented beautifully and tastes wonderful . The manager, George, is helpful and attentive.
