    Gorgeous room with ensuite in lovely quite area. Host was lovely. Breakfast would be great but as only the room it was good value anyway.

    In the room I was checked in, there was no bathroom window, nor the vent worked. Not a big deal, as my visit was short. Mind your head at door frames and enjoy the atmosphere down in the pub, where you find a big woodfire and friendly horses...

    Fabulous little pub with friendly staff. Rooms above. Very old 16th century building, so quirky rooms! Value for money. Breakfast was continental, croissants, cereals, toast etc. They even got up early so we could have breakfast before we left on...
