Last minute stay for my girlfriend and I while we were in the area. A little pricey for two people for what it is. The room itself was spacious, the en-suite bathroom was very small but the shower fixture/pressure and consistent flow and water made up for it. The en-suite needs a good revamp, the room needs the same too, or at least the ceiling, door frames and walls all need a fresh lick of paint white and magnolia to brighten the place up and compensate for a desperate revamp, curtains need changing or at least fixing. The mattress of the double bed was surprisingly comfortable and the pillows. Towels were not bad either. Had a good night sleep and everything was quiet, and the breakfast in the morning was a big surprise. We were greeted with Howard from Ireland, a very nice chap. Made my girlfriend and I what we wanted. Poached eggs and bacon on toast with fresh real coffee in a French press. The quality of the coffee and bacon and eggs was surprisingly good than what we were expecting or what usually comes with free breakfast on your stay at b&bs . Going forward I would return but you seriously need to decorate and revamp the rooms and make sure the breakfast was impressive for every guest and for every day of the week, consistency is a must.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff were helpful and the food good; although the bed was comfortable, the bedroom and the bedroom corridor were very tired and needing refurbishment; our impression of our room was sealed by there not being enough hooks for the curtains to hang properly.

Lovely Inn in pretty village with swans

I love coming to stay here, it’s one of my favourite places and I try to come every year. The proprietor is charming and funny and often feeds my dog sausages! The atmosphere is great.
