We stayed over for a wedding. Rooms were comfy and clean but lots of noise from the neighbours on either side woke us up quite early which was annoying as we were looking forward to Sunday lay in. We didnt have an evening meal but food looked lovely. Breakfast was really nice.

Enjoyable stay in one of the pub's rooms at the back of the property. Nice big room with settee and two chairs, much better than having to sit on the bed. Tea and coffee, fridge and bottled water are nice extra touches provided for when you get back from a day exploring. Shower good, water hot plus soft towels ( much appreciated!) and very quiet location in a small village with a handy village store in walking distance. Great overall stay.
