Tucked away in unspoilt countryside . It was indeed a warm, cosy double. Soft muted colours, furry blankets, gorgeous comfortable bed. Felt immediately at home' . The garden with twinkling lights and restaurant decoration are charming and food first class. We canx our booking due to an unforeseen hospital stay but could then make it and staff handled this effectively- thank you . We loved it and will be back. Thank you so much x

On the face of it, a nice pub with rooms (not really a hotel). Check-in was good, Breakfast was nice, there is on-site EV charging, and the rooms were fitted out nicely. However fundamentally the rooms are not fit for purpose. Our room was downstairs with another room above and you could hear every single footstep and conversation, which went on from 11pm to 1am. Also the bathroom ceiling was covered in fresh black mould in the shower due to lack of ventilation. Brought both to the attention of the staff in the morning. They apologised. But sadly would not recommend anyone to stay there for these reasons.
