Dont take ur dog here.

Started out ok. Adverise fog friendly. Charge you extra for dog. Soend 350.00 in 3 days, as zi did and wait for the threats from a Debbie when ur dog causes a minor damage..i mean easily repaired with bit of wood filler. She had no concept of customer service. Threatened to force charge me 50.00 despite there never have being any condition to repair damage. I offered to repair. Not buy her a new cabinet. Threatened me with expedia. I paid her e50.00 in 3 days to have to put up with her fudeness and threats over a very minor damage which i offered to repair. An old woman running some part of the pub questioned me as to whether or not my fog would bark as there wrre children coming. Once again. Dog and dog owner second class. If you dont want dog barking, DONT ACCEPT DOGS! Stay elsewhere if u have a dog. Breakfast took ages. Arrived cold. Great bathtub. Lots of hotwater. Stay spoiled bh Debbie.

Nice & handy country pub.

Lovely quaint pub in the countryside. Breakfast & dinner was lovely, the staff are great & work hard to keep guests happy. The accommodation is in a building in the back garden, a big building housing 16 rooms. The rooms were clean but a little ‘tired’ looking. The silicone could do with replacing around the bath as could the floor grout but whilst simple it was clean. The beds were only double so a little on the small side. Fire doors made the building noisy, people don’t seem able to hold a door & close it quietly so we were up at 6am!

Room and bathroom a bit dated and tired and did not think it was worth the price paid. Air conditioning was great. Service at breakfast was a bit chaotic - no mugs or glasses and it took a long time to get served, although good when it arrived.

Lovely place. Good location. We were there for a wake following a cremation, and then an overnight stay. The staff were lovely and the food prepared for the wake and breakfast was very good. At a difficult time it was something at least we did not have to worry about.

You won’t regret staying here!

Absolutely loved this hotel. The beds were very comfortable (soft and firm at the same time). The shower was warm enough. The grounds are beautiful and we took a walk around the area. The bar/restaurant was very enjoyable. The staff is top notch sweet and made sure we were comfortable!
