I stayed at the hotel for two nights with my dog, Teddy. We were both made to feel welcome and we were very comfortable in our room. The food in the restaurant was excellent. I would choose to go there even if I wasn't staying. …

Comfortable rooms, great food, and wonderful staff! All of the food was fantastic, but I am a fan of the eggs Benedict, and my goodness the sticky toffee pudding!!! The beds are comfortable and the rooms are well kept and stocked. We have had several long stays recently, and looking forward to returning soon!

Great hotel in a very nice village. Very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms clean, light and plenty of space in them. Nice space at the back for beer garden.Drinks very expensive! £16 for 2 medium wines. Breakfast was nice, full English but it took 35mins from ordering to arriving at the table, and no offer of toast for the table while waiting. Very tasty fresh big muffins.Plenty of parking at the back.Recommend staying if your in the area.

Very comfortable room, great food, helpful staff. WiFi wasn't working which spoilt our stay. Tried messaging them before arrival but they failed to respond. Their recommendation of a local taxi firm was also disappointing. However if WiFi isn't important to you for your work etc it is a relaxed hotel.
