Another great stay - Wifi could be better given the lack of mobile signal in the area but it did work. The hotel is excellent value for money

A lovely pub/hotel in a wonderful place
I enjoyed my stay, I stayed a few years back and had a good experience, so chose to go back. My room was clean, and well equipped. The food offer is good and reasonably priced. The breakfast menu has some good options. The staff were great and I found the locals welcoming.
Overall it was a great experience

Lovely staff both in the evening and morning.
Great staff and a lovely pie for the evening meal. The room was comfortable and warm with a good bed. Only slight negative on the room was the bathroom smelled (village plumbing I guess) and was a little cold as the window didn’t close properly. Breakfast was OK too.

a lovely , location for a great family get together. Overall the assistance and staff where very professional except at table service, which was a bit short of the necessary standard. perhaps some of the waiting/serving staff could be trained to a more acceptable standard.

Bedroom was a little bijou, but nicely decorated and en suite was very clean. Staff lovely. Breakfast was slow and a bit haphazard.

Great place to stay
Lovely hotel ( reminds me of old coaching inn) the room I stayed in was a good size, clean and comfortable, and had everything you could need with both a bath and shower, breakfast was delicious with lots of options, and the bar/restaurant welcoming and all the staff I interacted with were knowledgeable and friendly
Even though it was a little further than I wanted to stay I will be back because of the whole experience
