Lovely modern room with plenty of space for two people. Coffee machine was a big plus for me, with the downside being the shower (electric and not very powerful), but I would happily stay here again ✅.

We'd rate extra stars if we could!

Our stay was beyond amazing. The room was so homely and cosy, we loved it. We had an evening meal and a breakfast, the food was incredible. The staff at dinner and breakfast were so kind and welcoming, professional, completely faultless. The staff made the stay that much more special, so thank you. We cant wait to stay again.

A lovely property with a great pub. The food was excellent and thankfully the weather was sunny and warm. What a wonderful evening to eat outside in their Olive Garden. The owners and the staff were all so helpful in guiding us to a sweet evening stroll. We knew they had great reviews and they are well deserved. Our room was quiet, comfortable, and cool. Thank you!

My only issue was bedroom size and noise from garden on my windows but I didn’t stay long enough to rate or notice anything bad. Location is very good and easy to access. Didn’t have time to try the meals but smelled delicious and atmosphere seemed very inviting 🙏

It is good value. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. It is clean. Snowy white bedding and big fluffy towels but although offered it was accepted that I preferred not to have unnecessary changes of towels and bedding. It’s great to have a good restaurant on site that also offers several vegetarian options. There is a lovely little garden and good parking. Be prepared to accept that there will be traffic noise as it’s positioned on a junction.

Homely

Great little pub/inn off the A12, room was lovely, bathroom needs a bit of an update but functional and clean. Homemade biscuits 😋 a delight. I had a superior room and loved having a espresso machine for my morning brew. Food in general was fab from my burger 6oz (think chef forgot the scales, it was massive) to my mexican chicken & Avocado on 2nd night, portions great size, service i couldn't fault, all team, smiley, happy peeps.

Shower problems

The beds were very comfy and the room was spotless Food was pricey but worth every penny very delicious, only problem I would say is that I felt a bit unsafe in the shower no hand rails to hold on to and no non slip mat in the shower plus no bath handles to get out of shower and no mat on the floor when you step out of the shower
