Alan United Kingdom

Room was beautiful, decor was lovely. Shower was excellent and comfortable bed.

Rachel United Kingdom

Oh how beautiful is this place. So rustic , just as we thought it would be. It would have been nice to have had water in the room. But this is a minor point. Our room was so comfortable. We used the restaurant for an evening meal, the food did not dissapoint. Our waitress was really friendly and nothing was too much trouble. I definitely reccomend The Brown Horse Inn.

Sally United Kingdom

We stayed as a treat and had a wonderful stay. The food is fantastic and staff were friendly and helpful. Comfy beds and really well designed rooms, including a fab shower.
