    Perfectly situated for my needs. Very nice cosy, old pub/hotel, with great restaurant and rooms. Exceptionally pleasant, friendly, attentive and very hard working staff. Spacious car park. I will return when in the area.

    Fantastic stay I stayed as a single parent and took my dog with me, the lady called debs that works there was brilliant and helped with all the questions I had. Debs didn't know about the bus services that run local so she went out of her way to find out for me.

    We had a large tastefully decorated bedroom It was immediately apparent that the room had undergone a recent renovation, reflecting a high standard. The mini fridge was a convenient addition for keeping our beverages chilled. Nice to have a bath rather than a shower with lots of warm water. Large comfortable bed. Our room overlooked the beer garden. The treble-glazed window ensured that our peace was undisturbed by outside noise. Plenty of free onsite parking space. As pet owners, we were particularly appreciative of the hotel’s pet-friendly policy, with only a nominal £20 additional charge for our dog. All the staff who were very friendly and made a fuss of our dog. The evening meal was good, and breakfast freshly cooked to order. The proximity of a Co-op store just a few minutes’ walk away was incredibly convenient for picking up snacks and essentials. We would stay here again.

    Limited selection at breakfast. Would have liked skimmed milk option and muesli or fresh fruit. Limited vegan/vegetarian hot option-no sausage available but chef did delicious smashed avocado substitute. Also would like a choice of how eggs were cooked-not just fried.

    Well equipped rooms-everything provided. Clean, tastefully decorated rooms. Excellent shower. Warm and comfortable bed. Mini fridge was most welcome. Good breakfast and plenty of parking space.

    Breakfast sounded really good, but in fact .- considering the price - was quite poor. Toast /butter not served separate, generally small portions and not nicely cooked, extra coffee not offered... etc. Shame as the room and quietness was good.

    Everything was really good, breakfast disappointeing

    The staff were extremely friendly and couldn’t do enough to help. I arrived late due to work and the kitchen was closed but was offered a freshly made sandwich of my choice which was very good of them, I was also leaving early, before breakfast started but was also offered a pot of porridge and toast before original opening times. The room was spotless and very comfortable and good water pressure in the shower with a lovely coffee machine and good condiments. Had the best nights sleep I’ve had in ages and wish I had arrived earlier to try the award winning pies in the restaurant. Great beers and cider on tap if I was local it would be my go to and if I’m ever in the area again it would be a no brainer on where I’d like to stay, highly recommend!
