A very attractive Inn, thatched roof, multiple lounge rooms, one with dart board, another with chess board. Bedroom was quiet (back of building) tea kettle etc. Star 4 as dinner selection nit to menu then breakfast choice restricted as no salmon for the egg benedict. Staff were amazing young teenagers (who said kids don't want to work) Thank you

We had a last minute trip to the area and had two little hungry bellys to feed. After getting turned away from an empty pub that was "fully booked" we chose this beautiful establishment instead. The staff are all very welcoming and the food was amazing. Thank you for having us and our two crazy twins.
