The owners (Ray & Janet) and their staff were extremely as were the locals who were there the evening we arrived. Ray cooks some really nice curries which my wife and I tried and very much enjoyed and there are plenty of other choices on the menu. We really enjoyed chatting with Ray who has a very broad and interesting knowledge of local history. Janet cooked us a fine breakfast in the morning and the local fresh eggs and bacon the best I have tasted in a very long time. Many thanks.

Mattress was appalling. It was a cheap, poorly made ,and sparsely sprung . Pillows were also cheap and cheerful. Curtains were not blackout lined so when the sun rose it woke you up. Shame because the the room was quaint, well equipped with a great view.
Great location for touring the area. Obliging owners and staff. Great food.

The vegetarian evening meal I ordered was out of stock... Not enough choice on menu for vegan/vegetarian. (I'm emailing idea recipies) Mattress not firm enough but my daughter loved it. Tepid shower at 0730 am. Hot water? Nub ends on floor - outside seating area. The chair I sat on outside - wobbily arm rest mended with wire.

Using a microwave on pastry dishes spoiled a couple of our meals. The range of beers on offer could have been better but I accept that we all have different tastes
The Indian food menu was good and authentic cooking made the meals very nice. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good.
