Pros:

Een prima hotel bij de klein dorpje in de bosrijke omgeving. Het personeel is erg vriendelijk. Er is een restaurant bij het hotel waar je goed kunt eten. Bij mooi weer kun je buiten zitten op het terras. En ook het ontbijt is prima met een ruime keuze.

Walking the Peddars Way
Pros:

Lovely country pub in an isolated area. It has a large car park across the road and I also noticed a Camping and Caravan Club site alongside the car park. The staff were brilliant and went over and above for me by collecting me from Little Cressingham, following my walk, and returning me the following morning.
The ales and food were excellent .
My room was large and the bed was comfortable. It had ample tea making supplies.

Cons:

I was given a lift from Little Cressingham but it is in far from bus stops or walking routes.
It was a little warm in the room.

Excellent stay in a friendly country pub.
Pros:

Was working late and received a call from the pub, asking if I would be back before the kitchen closed, if not the would leave me a cold sandwich in my room and if I were too late for the bar, what drink would I like. Very thoughtful. Staff were all excellent. A really lovely friendly place.
