Lovely pub stay in great location
Lovely room. Very comfortable bed and all very clean. Little bit more attention needed under toilet rim. Great breakfast and location. Sadly shower was a nightmare. It banged constantly (even woke up next door!) and the water pressure was awful which is the only reason for my rating.

A pleasant few days
A very pleasant, comfortable B&B. Ground floor room was spacious & well furnished but somewhat noisy from the main front door & the guests in the above room. Floors could do with sound proofing fitted. Good breakfast provided & other meals available at the attached pub. Staff were very pleasant & helpful for the most part.

A Brilliant Stay
Just had a brilliant overnight stay here. The staff were outstanding, the restaurant is charming and food was simply excellent. Great value too. Accommodation is in a separate house next door, a 25 yard or so walk from the main building. We were in room 1 facing on to the main road. You could hear the occasional car but it was never a problem. The room and the hall have clearly recently been refurbished to a very good standard, it was well heated and there is a big shower cubicle in the en-suite. Large TV, good WiFi and tea/coffee facilities complete the package. Fresh milk available in a fridge in the hallway. We had a DB&B package and how nice to not have restrictions on certain dishes - choose anything for all 3 courses. Breakfast quality was also excellent, using top quality produce (as evidenced by a local delivery of fresh mushrooms just as we were eating breakfast). Highly recommended.
