Great pub in a lovely village

Unfortunately due the heatwave the room was to small & it was like sleeping in an oven, I appreciate it wasn’t the owners fault , but a fan just didn’t do the job , we had our dog with us , happy to say it’s very dog friendly , the food was excellent especially the breakfast , would return in cooler weather

Nice little b&b, value for money, comfortable bed and good facilities. Bathroom could have definitely been cleaner, hair blocking bath and what I think was watered down body wash. Would come again though. Lovely location and staff nice and informative.

Nice overnight stay

Just a quick overnight stay before an event the following day Room was small but had everything we needed & space for the dog Continental breakfast was taken in the room, adequate but a stay atvthe weekend where a proper breakfast is available would have been nice! Staff welcoming & we ate an evening meal there which was very good
