    We were there for just a short one night stopover and found the hotel very convenient for a trip to the lake for a few hours, and the breakfast was a real treat.

    Our bed was a bit uncomfortable. But I've got sciatica which did not help at all 👎🏼

    Beautiful hotel and room. Staff could not do enough for us and breakfast superb. Waitress served everything at the table. She was so nice, helpful and chatty. Lovely girl! No helping yourself to cereals etc which I think is fantastic too. Plenty to eat and breakfast was delicious! Great produce, 10/10

    Nothing

    Although we arrived late and well after the restaurant had taken final orders (an hour after), the owner very kindly produced the menu, allowed me to choose from several options and then provided a hot meal. That was exceedingly kind and most welcome - above and beyond what we would normally expect. Our room was warm, the bed was very comfortable, the shower hot and everything worked just fine. Breakfast was decent with enough choice, although overall I think a little more might be done for vegetarians/vegans, but I got by fine as a non-meat eater. Overall, a great find, close to the M6 yet with a rural feel being in a village and really lovely people running it and working in it.

    Fantastic gem of a pub/ bnb, true hospitality in a lovely period setting, comfy rooms, tasty food.. friendly locals- whats not to like. Also for motorway hobos like me, its a stones throw from a turnoff, with petrol at very reasonable prices!

    The room was comfortable if a little on the small side. The bathroom was clean and well-stocked. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was excellent. All in all, it was a very pleasant stay, I would certainly choose this place again if I was staying in the area.

    We liked it all and hope to stay there again at some point in the future.

    The bedroom was very clean, the bed was extremely comfortable and the tea and coffee making facilities were welcome after a tiring day out. We ate at the restaurant and the food was delicious. The staff were very friendly and polite.
