Nice place and host. Breakfast left a lot to be desired, there was an open loaf of bread I. The bread bin for toast which I wasn’t going to use! Location wise there was not much around walking was limited as it was dark and you have to walk through lanes with fast running traffic so I couldn’t walk like I thought I would be able to.

The history of the building is fascinating. A 17th C building made from stones of the nearby ruins, Penmark Castle. Terrific hosts and kind folks at the pub next door.

A bit of peace off the beaten track close to town

What a great place to stay, very well organised, clean and comfortable. It is very easy to find, and despite being close to the airport we didn’t hear anything. Lovely little pub too.

Overnight stop

Lovely old barn full of character. Easy to find location. Pub next door. Friendly host that was more than happy to accommodate my very short overnight stop. Had everything I needed to make the trip as comfortable as possible. Would happily stay again.
