I received a warm welcome and the room was clean and spacious. There was fresh milk and fresh fruit available in the mini-fridge, which was thoughtful; also, delicious home made chocolate cake! This suited me perfectly for a one-night stopover on my travels.

Amazing stay

We stayed for a wedding- even though the check in fell at a difficult time for the wedding (at the Old Cow Shed) Fran went out of her way to help us get the key, and then gave us a lift to the venue. Room was warm and comfortable with tea, coffee and fresh fruit. Fran also facilitated a late checkout. Couldn’t ask for anything more, and significantly better than the alternative of the travelodge!

Lovely find! Great stay.

What a lovely find! Stayed here for one night when visiting the Stag & Hounds, but could happily have stayed longer. Lovely location, great facilities and lovely touches with home made cakes on arrival and a fridge with proper milk and bottled water. Fran was very welcoming and helpful, and lots of information in the room about the local area and places to go/eat etc.
