Lovely old pub with great food in a lovely setting.
Pros:

Lovely old pub in a lovely setting. Easy parking, lots of space. Food was delicious and freshly cooked. Good selection of drinks. Locals and guests who were there for holidays using the pub. Room was big, beds were comfortable. Coffee/tea-making facilities in the room. I didn't have breakfast as we were heading home but it is served 8.30-9 and there was a good selection on the menu. It is a beautiful area and there are lots of walks.

Cons:

Nothing

This will now be our go to when we need to stay in the area!
Pros:

We only had a short stop over stay so didn’t get to full experience, but from what we saw we will definitely be back! Lovely hosts, beautiful location, and a cosy room with everything you need. Having the off lead dog run was super useful for us too!
