It was a very warm welcome, the room was clean and tidy, the food was amazing and the prices for it were absolutely fair. There were nice walks just around the corner and my dog was as welcome as I was. Familiar atmosphere and we were sad we had to leave. Definitely coming back!

Darren

Diner was delicious I had the 'Specials' Pea and Bean Tortellini with a Buttery Sauce followed by the Elderflower and Gooseberry Trifle. Breakfast of Scambled Eggs on Toast was deliciously light and creamy . My room was a Twin in the Cottage, a sumptuous, comfortable bed along with natural bedding (I am used luxurious Wool bedding) and the room was cosy with a 'Chesterfield' type sofa. An excellent stay I will be staying again.

The hoover is not working so cooking is a bit smelly.
The cottage is brilliant, it's very suitable for a family of 5 or 6 to live in. It creates a unique atmosphere as the building is very historical. The local ale is also very nice. Their staff is very helpful and friendly.
