Lovely, clean and spacious room. One of the best showers I've used in a long time. The food in the restaurant was simply amazing, both breakfast and dinner. Beautifully presented and every mouthful savoured. Next time we're in this part of the world we will definitely stay here again.

Lovely place to stay - it’s the 4th time we’ve stayed here when visiting the area and it’s always a pleasant experience. Good sized family room with my two sons, and overall a very clean and nice pub hotel with friendly staff.
