Although the property was old and in need of some remediation it was a very pleasant stay and Lisa and John were perfect hosts and couldn’t do enough for you. The property was dated but this was in keeping with its surroundings within a listed village. The food was extremely well cooked and presented and couldn’t be faulted. The room we had was clean and spacious with everything you could need. All in all a very nice stay.

The staff were amazing. They had so many details like bringing milk to the room every day. The food was awesome. They made a great breakfast including eggs Benedict and a wonderful supper that gave you 3 different options for meat. The decor is amazing in both the bedroom and the rest of the decor. We felt very cared for. We loved the hotel!!!!
