Warm welcome and all staff very friendly and showed genuine interest in guests. Situated in lovely village of Moulton. Ideally suited my needs in the area. Accomodation clean and comfortable. Breakfast cooked to order. Ample parking at rear. Would reuse if back in the area. I didn't have a need to use it, but note that at time of visit (June 2022) the restaurant was not open in the evenings - host provided alternative local options.

I've stayed at this lovely place a number of times and can highly recommend it. The owner Susan is fantastic and always happy to help you enjoy your stay. Also the breakfast is very nice and couldn't ask for anything else.

The hotel has a rustic/homely vibe to it but what makes it 5 stars is the staff, so welcoming and really helpful. I only stayed for one night but have absolutely no complaints as it was so welcoming and I was made to feel more like family than a guest. The cost per night was very reasonable and breakfast was perfect. Would highly recommend!
