Wonderful AirBnb has such a great time with the entire clan. Some quite spaces to enjoy the garden and the location is great for exploring too!

Fantastic Air B&B. Wonderful weekend for 14 adults. Only complaint would be the really uncomfortable bed in our room.

The Dragon House is a fantastic country pub/hotel that can now be rented by visiting parties. Our group of ~9 had a brilliant, memorable time - the facilities are excellent, the rooms (all en suite) are very spacious and the host/owner (Harvey) is very hospitable and nearby if needed.

This place is no longer a hotel but instead a holiday home. We rented the entire place and it was fantastic. The rooms are spacious and clean. The kitchen is a full fitted industrial style kitchen stainless steel everywhere. With a huge dining room to match. But the main attraction of course is the bar. What a cracking atmosphere that place has. We stocked it ourselves. We had a smashing time over bank holiday weekend. Couldn't be better.

My wife and I booked Dragon House for our 25th wedding anniversary to share the celebrations with our friends and family. I would like to say that Dragon House is an excellent place to stay for family gatherings. The place is lovely and clean with great bedrooms, lounge and dining room, but as we had a celebration, the bar area was fantastic. The outside area was great with plenty of tables and chairs and large gardens.

There is a large kitchen with commercial size fridge, freezer and ovens. There is ample parking for many vehicles. The owner is very friendly and I cannot praise Dragon House any more with everyone in our party having an excellent time.
