    The breakfast selection was incredible, especially the freshly baked pastries.

    The outdoor furniture was quite worn and uncomfortable for relaxing.

    The cozy bed made it hard to leave my room, and the homemade ice cream at dinner was a delightful treat after a long day of exploring.

    Cozy stay with great breakfast

    Had a lovely one-night stay. The bed was super comfy, and the breakfast spread was absolutely delish! Enjoyed fresh fruit and a full English with loads of coffee. The place was quiet at night, but the bathroom could use some TLC. a nice experience with friendly staff.

    rushed service
    worn decor
    long wait

    The rural setting offers stunning views, making it an ideal base for exploring the area. The room was spacious and included a lovely terrace perfect for our dogs, while the breakfast selections were impressive and cooked to order. the service felt a bit rushed, as our main courses took a long time to arrive, and the decor appeared worn and in need of updating.

    delicious food

    Ideal for a cozy escape

    Absolutely loved the cozy atmosphere at the pub. The food was spot on, especially the homemade ice cream—perfectly crafted and so many flavors to choose from.

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but the quality made it worthwhile.

    great food
    closed pub
    need maintenance

    the hosts were super friendly, and the views from the property were lovely. The food was yum, especially breakfast. they had a great selection! plus, the garden area is dog friendly, which was perfect for us. also, the room was nice and bright with its own patio area.

    the pub is actually closed, so if ur expecting a lively inn, it can be a letdown. also, some areas seemed like they needed a bit of TLC.

    great breakfast
    pretty garden
    need update

    We had a lovely stay with great breakfast and spent some relaxing time in the pretty garden and on the terrace. The bathroom could use a little update, but it didn’t take away from our enjoyment overall. I recommend checking out the local hiking trails while you’re here! 🌳

    Charming spot with room for improvement

    We enjoyed a pleasant stay with welcoming staff and excellent breakfasts. The serene garden offered a lovely escape, but attention to cleanliness and repairs would enhance the overall experience. Consider dining at local pubs for a more vibrant atmosphere. A bit of TLC would go a long way!
