Christopher - 05/10/2026

Wonderful breakfast and dinners

Room was a bit tight and not on the luxurious but fine

Friendly, traditional pub with cozy room and really comfortable laid back atmosphere.

I’m used to a limited vegan choice and that’s ok, but a vegan starter on the menu would have been nice.

Superb, well beyond my expectations. Staff very friendly and helpful. The evening meal was world class, fantastic wine cellar and the food was cooked to perfection. The bedroom was huge and well laid out.

There was nothing to dislike

Hencke - 05/11/2026

Lovely setting and a comfortable, well equipped bedroom. Had a delicious supper and a very good breakfast the next morning. Friendly and helpful staff.R

Room could have done with a stronger central light, but this a very minor quibble in the overall scheme of things.
