Charming Stay with Great Food
spacious roombeautiful viewtasty food
The room had a double bed and a double pull-out sofa, accommodating all four of us comfortably. I found the room spacious, opening onto a garden that featured a children's park. The view of the countryside was quite beautiful, with cows grazing in the nearby field. I enjoyed reasonably priced, tasty dinners at the pub. All the staff were friendly.
I noticed the bathroom could benefit from a more thorough cleaning.

Cottage-Like Charm and Friendly Faces!
spacious roombeautiful viewreasonable pricenoisy location
Our room felt very cottage-like and it included a double bed with a double pull out sofa. I loved the spaciousness of the top room, and the door opening directly onto the garden was a plus. I found the view of the countryside with its cows beautiful. Breakfast tasted wonderful. Dinner was reasonably priced.
I noted the car park was located opposite the pub. Though the location was convenient, it could be noisy depending on the number of customers.
