We stayed here for a night for a nearby wedding and the staff were all so helpful and friendly. We asked to check in early and they accommodated us, and even had the room ready which was an added bonus. The room was comfy and clean, and the pub itself is gorgeous. We'll definitely be coming back again.

Lovely nights stay when in the area visiting friends. Evening meal was good and service was quick. The breakfast was good but disappointed in the lack of cereal when it was on the menu and included in the price. Would recommend and will use again.

Disappointed no food served

The Hotel is set in a remote location which is very nice and very peaceful. The accommodation was good with free parking good WiFi. The room was clean and well appointed (room 3) and bed very comfortable. My only criticism would be on Mondays which is the day I stayed the do not serve food on Monday evenings which meant an 8 Mile drive to get some tea as it was so remote. Likewise they don’t serve breakfast on the Tuesday morning and was told only at weekends does this happen. I can understand not having the kitchen open but as booked well in advance it would have been a thought to have a continental style breakfast box placed in the room.
