Klinta United Kingdom

Such a lovely atmosphere and a warm welcome. The food was second to none. We had 2 breakfasts, a lunch and an evening meal and all were absolutely outstanding, particularly the Sunday lunch. Our room was fabulous with a beautiful roll top bath with stunning local bath products. All of the staff couldn’t do enough to help and everyone was an asset to the pub.

We had a wonderful stay, the managers Louise and Jen were amazing and could not do enough to help. The bed was huge, lovely shower room and lots of small touches in the room like local apple juice. Amazing full English breakfast in the morning and catered for my wheat allergy. Dinners were lovely too!
