We stayed at Rooks Hill unexpectedly last Saturday (22nd October) when our Air B&B fell through at the last minute (5pm!) In desperation we called around a few local hotels but all were booked. …

The accommodation was outstanding with 4 poster bed, the owner was really nice and made us very welcome. The breakfast they supplied was excellent too. There is a very nice pub just across the road which was very handy.

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at the Rooks Hill for two nights in March. It was our first visit and will not be our last. The accomodation and service cannot be faulted. It is a credit to the owner Erling and his team.
