Biker friendly, dog friendly, people friendly .....
Pros:

What a brilliant place.
From the location, staff, food, rooms, atmosphere, everything was just spot on.
We stayed a couple of nights this week on a motorbike trip and apart from our trip home, I think they even ordered in the weather for us 😊
Every single member of staff were just incredible and really couldn't do enough for us.
Jack, the resident dog, is just the coolest, most laid back boy and is more than happy to share his space with any other four legged pal that comes along.
The food, well .... some of the best quality, tastiest food I've had. I normally don't order a steak outside of a steakhouse because it's never cooked right, but I went for it and ordered it rare. It was cooked perfectly and the flavour, wow 👌
We will definitely be back, thank you for a great stay 💕

A Joy to visit and a gift to stay
Pros:

A fabulous olde village inn set in a tranquil settle next to running stream.
We were even lucky enough to see a couple of red squirrels when we arrived.
The place has everything you need for a superb relaxing stay.
Our room was dog friendly and still filled with every luxury needed and super comfy and spacious.
The food was amazing and place was buzzing both nights of our stay so book ahead to avoid missing out.

Thank you Jack and Team.
