Went to the staghunters Inn last weekend, thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Wendy Richard and their family always make us so welcome, they are going to be missed when they finally sell up, it won't be the same. The food was delicious as usual and plenty of it. The whole family chip in and work so hard to make everyone's stay enjoyable, nothing is to much trouble. Hopefully they will still be there when we next go back.
