Recently refurbished by the new owners to a very high standard. Rooms are well equipped for couples or individuals as well as a self contained family room . Very well situated in beautiful location close to walks that can be accessed straight from the hotel. Lots of history around the area including the hotel itself . The food and service is perfect including the hosts Matthew and Gaynor who are very helpful and accommodating. I would recommend the hotel for both long or short breaks . Large garden with play areas ideal for the kids too ! Many thanks again for a wonderful stay

Great place with lots of history behind it. Great for walks. Lovely rooms, very friendly couple who run it and great service. Food is amazing, if you can't decide you cant go wrong with lasagne and chocolate brownies with custard for dessert. Will definitely be returning in the future

We passed by this place yesterday because I was craving something sweet and tasty, the couple that works there, I will assume the owners are so friendly, accommodating, and sweet. The place inside is so eautifully decorated and it has really nice vibes. They brought us scones and strawberries with cream, and it was delicious, homemade fresh, so tasty we ordered twice. Yummy. We will be back sometime this year or next to try the accommodation since we had such a great experience in this place.

We just stopped for an afternoon tea after a long 4 hour journey. Our afternoon tea was delicious. All the staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. Thank you for the warm and friendly welcome. Looking forward to returning again.

I crashed my car outside this place at night and had nowhere to go. I went into this hotel and they were immediately very kind and friendly, helping calm me down, made me a cup of tea and chatted to me to distract me and helped me sort out calling breakdown cover before someone was able to come collect me. Even let me put on the barbie movie soundtrack over the speakers in my slightly hysterical state. Absolutely lovely people who own this place, super friendly and kind. Would have been sat in a lay-by for an hour at 11pm without these guys, thanks!!!!!
