Can't be faulted

I am reluctant to give too much credit, in case I can't get in in the future but it is only fair to give the honest critique - it was FAB ! The staff team were young, friendly and enthusiastic, keen to please; ably led by Ben. The room was GREAT and the breakfast was fullsome

Lovely quiet location - beautiful country pub

Beautiful quiet location, Plenty of space outside on the patio and also inside . Staff were friendly and welcoming. Parking was very good with an over fill carpark. Food was very good and breakfast was good value and very nice, If anything, the bedrooms were a little on the small side and rooms need a bit of freshening up. All in All we were very happy with our stay and would certainly go again,
