Lovely well presented room on the top floor. The breakfast was excellent - my vegetarian was great and my wife, something of a connoisseur said her porridge was sublime.

Martin United Kingdom

Amazing staff and a great location. Would definitely look forward to another visit to this hotel.

Paul United States of America

A perfect little community; a tea shop, hotel pub, butcher, tandoori restaurant, bakery, produce, grocer, and church. all in one block.

John United States of America

Staff were very helpful & friendly. Seating area in lounge areas was very comfortable with lovely comfy sofas. Parking was easy at rear of hotel & opposite was a park area ideal for walking my dog.

Kathrine United Kingdom

The staff was very friendly. It's a short 10 min walk from the train station which is very important since only 2 taxis in town. We had the steak and the roast for supper. Delicious! And their brownie dessert excellent. Our room was recently renovated. Very comfy beds.
