Great night at the inn. Our room was at the back overlooking the beer garden. Was very quiet at the inn so no noise outside during evening. Sliding door if ensuite entrance needs some serious lubrication. Staff were super friendly and food was excellent

Not brilliant.

Bit disappointing. Emailed the property requesting a table the day before upon booking. Didn't get an answer and told we would have to eat in the bar which on itself wasn't the end of the world. Then told there would be no breakfasts. Just after finishing the main we asked for dessert and told too late. It would take seconds to put a slice of crumble in a dish. Especially as the chef was still there. The milk in the room was three weeks out date. The food we did have was quite nice. But all in all the hospitality left a lot to be desired.

Wouldn't stay here again

The room wasn't clean, the bathroom sink and table with the kettle hadn't been cleaned since the last guest. I asked for more teabags and got a handful presented to me in a dirty hand. The food was poorly cooked pub style, straight out the freezer. I was there a few nights and had a pizza delivered the last evening. I wanted to like the place but couldn't

On checking into our room, we found there to be only 1 towel despite the booking being for 2 guests. On requesting another towel we were told that they would have to put 1 in the dryer & we could have it ‘later’ One of the pillow cases on the bed was soaking wet & the extra pillows had no pillow cases in them. The toilet seat was not fixed to the toilet so was dangerous. Many items were unavailable from the menu & breakfast was only served from 9am-10am. On the whole a very disappointing stay which we will not be repeating.

Loved staying here and will be back. Really friendly owner who made sure I was given all the information I needed. Really made to feel comfortable. I shared a twin room which was really tasteful, extremely clean and more than enough space for two of us. Highly recommend! Thanks for having us.
