Great old inn. Food and service excellent. Breakfast was fabulous. Rooms need a refurb but that's underway. Complimentary gin and tonic a great touch and plenty of amenities in the room. We'll be back.

Amazing food and friendly staff. On the expensive side though. The bar area is really nice with several fires making it warm and comfy.

This is a great place with good food, we had lunch today, but trying to get a dessert was impossible. This establishment should be better in relation to customer loyalty, perhaps the wedding took priority whilst local residents we ignored. The food we had was excellent, fwiw. Could do better

Lovely rooms in a very cozy setting. Open fires, carpets and wonky floors all add to the charm. Breakfast was amazing with quality ingredients and perfectly cooked. Loved our stay

We had a night away and stayed in the Cottage. Tucked away, private with its own hot tub. A beautiful location, hotel and experience. All the staff were so lovely, we had dinner in the restaurant and breakfast and all was excellent. A great experience and night away. We will be back.
