    The double room was a little small, bed was a little too near the window to access bed.

    Breakfast was excellent, location was superb, parking included. Staff couldn’t do enough to help, very friendly.

    A mild irritation is that the Inn is marketed as a no smoking establishment, however, at the bottom of the second flight of stairs, leading to the top floor bedrooms, there was a constant smell of cigarette smoke. It may have been coming from a private room/office, but was actually quite unpleasant.

    The property was spotlessly clean. Our room was a superior double on the top floor. It was quiet and the bed extremely comfortable. We had breakfast and dinner on both days of our stay and the food was excellent and piping hot. The staff were friendly and efficient. Fresh milk was provided in a flask and could be replenished at any time. This was a nice touch.

    Just the standard of coffee at breakfast (see above)

    Breakfast - good quality and excellent choice. Coffee rather variable. Dinner - we ate in twice. Reasonably good food - 'bar' standard with limited vegetables. Room - comfortable. Excellent TV. Cleaners very personable and effective. Car parking - excellent

    Nothing really. We have stayed before. It is on the high end price wise.

    Great, central position with parking included. Very nice room but it was up 2 flights of stairs (room 2). We weren’t made aware of this. Could have been a prob for some people. Heating was on in 5he bathroom but couldn’t make it come on in the bedroom. Not an issue. Clean but not spotless. Great breakfast. Lovely, cosy bar.

    The location is excellent, right on the Main Street. All of the staff were excellent, very polite and friendly. Nothing was a bother to them. The food is first class. Breakfast is the best we’ve had and we have been to loads of n and b’s over the years. Beer garden is beautiful, heated and covered.
