Derek, United Kingdom

Little hidden gem in lovely countryside, beer garden overlooking sprawling farmers fields. Full English breakfast/toast/cereal/tea/coffee and was all fantastic to set you up for the day. The staff where lovely and nothing was any bother. Would highly recommend the evening meals should you wish to eat there

Kevin, United Kingdom

Breakfast was very good. the location was in a beautiful area and very convenient for our meandering

Stephen, United Kingdom

Comfy bed, good breakfast and friendly faces all round

Stefan, United Kingdom

Very helpful and friendly staff, super food (breakfast and dinner) tidy well appointed rooms. Reasonably priced food and drinks and a nice location in a quiet village so no road noise etc.

Simon, United Kingdom

Great breakfast, and also food in the evening. Small but nice room, excellent shower, smart TV a bonus. Outstanding value, especially on a bank holiday weekend. Staff were all really friendly (a common theme in these parts it seems!) Helpful info in the magazines in the room on attractions in the area.

Matt, United Kingdom

The steak and guiness pie was superb. And the view from the beer garden at the back was lovely

Carolyn, United Kingdom

Lovely accommodation. We had an evening meal and cooked breakfast both were excellent. The staff were very welcoming and obliging.

Jeanie, United Kingdom

The host and staff were very friendly and welcoming, if you need to eat then you also have no need to travel once settled in for the night, the food served here is well above "pub food" standards and well priced. If we were heading this way again we would have no reservations in booking this accommodation...that evening meal would make me look forward to it

Bar food is lovely, very high quality. Friendly helpful staff..
