Nice place to stay but it was cold outside and the rooms were cold despite radiators. They need to put spare blankets in each room. Located right in the middle of the village which was excellent. Very narrow entrance for car parking at rear of hotel

We stayed in a family room at the Dial in late January 2026. We found the room plenty big enough for us (a couple + one adult). The room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was particularity nice with a large soaking tub. The hostess was very nice and helpful. We reserved the breakfast rate, and the breakfast was excellent. We would stay again.

Everything was great but it would have been good to know that they are cashless business. I feel very strongly that there should always be a choice so wouldn't return unless this changes.
