An Amazing Property with phenomenal food, great staff and a most picturesque location
Pros:

We had the most beautiful room, sparkling bathroom, cool room even in the hot weather. Great fan too if you needed further cooling. The staff were so friendly. The food here is phenomenal. We tried a lot of the items on the menu and each one was amazing. It's really good food and really good hospitality done very well.

The service was excellent, the staff bent over backwards to accommodate our needs.
Pros:

We weren’t sure if the GPS was sending us to the right place. When we came around the corner my husband said “look at that place, I hope that’s it” and is was. We were really pleased with the location, atmosphere, staff and food.

Cons:

On the second day we were getting a train into London and just needed a piece of toast. We were charged full price for the breakfast which seemed a bit steep.

Geweldige overnachtingsplek!
Pros:

De rustige locatie, het prachtig ingerichte huis (plum cottage) en de vriendelijkheid van de staff. En natuurlijk de karakteristieke kenmerken van de Inn, geweldig!! Ontbijt was ook fantastisch, keuze uit lekkere warme gerechten aangevuld met yoghurt/muesli en toast. Zou hier zeker weer komen!

Cons:

Alleen dat de pub in de middag gesloten was, maar desondanks fijn in de tuin kunnen zitten.

A fantastic experience
Pros:

From the moment we walked through the door, we felt completely at home. This is truly a unique place with such a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

The host was incredibly kind and thoughtful. When we mentioned that we hadn't had time to buy any groceries, they even offered to provide us with fresh bread for breakfast the next morning. It was such a generous gesture.

We stayed in the beautiful cottage, which had everything we could possibly need. The beds were extremely comfortable with lovely, high-quality bed linen, and everything was spotless and well maintained. We were also welcomed with a plate of the most delicious homemade cookies and fresh milk in the fridge – such a lovely surprise.

One of the best parts was being able to step outside the cottage, walk just a few steps, and find ourselves in a wonderfully cosy and atmospheric pub.

We couldn't have asked for a better stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing, memorable experience. We would love to come back!
