    we stayed in aneitrly new wing of this amazing 13th century building. Very generous, fresh breakfast. Also took a hike up into the hills above using a footpath through the church. All very close to the motorway but still in deep countryside..

    We had a large room in the newly completed 'stable' wing, fitted out to a very high standard. The breakfasts were amazing, especially the Overnight Oats with fruit compote. We didn't need any lunch after our Ley Arms breakfasts!
