Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Lovely hotel, looks like it’s never changed for years, probably could do with a little refurb. All food great, staff friendly and helpful
Staff very obliging.
All very polite.
Ensuite in our first room was a little cramped but we adapted.
There was a problem with water leakage from another room so we were asked to move.
The new room was even better.
Food and drink prices no more expensive than other establishments.
Hotel has old world character which was nice to see as the county seems to be loosing our traditions.
This is bad for the country and hospitality sector.
Can’t fault anything. Great location for our needs. Lovely evening meal and breakfast. Overall we give it a five star. Would defiantly stay there again.
Friendly helpful staff. Nice pub with good food and beer. Accommodation is in the traditional coach house. Very clean room and bathroom. Comfortable beds.
Fantastic breakfast
Having booked a four person room, I was very surprised on arrival to find that out accommodation was actually a two floor cottage with a kitchen. Very comfortable and spacious. Two televisions. One separate double bedroom on first floor. All lovely. Breakfast was excellent and not a buffet but plentiful. Overall highly recommended. Staff were all very pleasant also. If you are lucky you can park right outside your cottage otherwise there is a carpark very near.

Breakfast: very basic. 6/10
Bar meal (Evening): good 8/10
Excellent stay. Staff were superb along with the food and drink on offer. Maybe some healthier options would be a suggestion, plus the heating was constantly on full through the building. Money saving opportunity here.
Definitely recommend.
