Pros:

It was during heatwave and the rooms were boiling. Bed linen had to be changed, but everyone friendly and helpful. Lovely location. Pub food average but breakfasst good.

Pros:

Lovely rural location with fab views, delicious breakfasts, nice modern finish to the room and bathrooms.

Cons:

Somewhat pricey if you want to eat lunch/dinner, room a little on the small side and located on the car park so car's coming and going.

We had a wonderful stay, in a great location, with comfortable surroundings and the staff were lovely … coping admirably
Pros:

The staff were friendly, welcoming and informative. We had a spotlessly clean room (one of The Barn rooms) which had vaulted ceilings, a very comfortable bed and a wet room. The restaurant was airy, with trifold patio doors on opposite sides of the room, which gave it a lovely open feel. One side opened onto a large patio with plenty of tables for outdoor dining, plus more tables outside the bar. It was a wonderful mix of old and new. Plus the added bonus of a live jazz trio who were amazing. What more could you ask on a hot summer’s evening?

Cons:

Couldn’t fault it.
