A comfortable stay with friendly staff and nice food.
Pros:

The room was very clean with nice bedding and towels. It was at the back of the property with good view of farmland and the hills and away from traffic noise. The tea tray in the bedroom was well stocked with tea bags, biscuits and water everyday. We ate in the dining room a couple of times in the evening and found the food to be really nice and good value for money. The staff were also very pleasant and helpful.

Cons:

The room was a little too hot for us the first night but we soon found we could turn the heating off and open the window which cooled things down.

Friendly, clean and comfy.
Pros:

The staff were all very helpful and lovely. The room was very clean. The bed was fresh and comfy. Really enjoyed my stay and it is dog friendly. No smell of dog in the room. Breakfast was very tasty. Plenty of choice. I ate at the Inn the previous evening. Lovely food and good service, reasonable price. Nice stay for me and my little dog. I would happily book again. Thanks from me.

Cons:

My only complaint was the toilet seat was cracked.
