Was absolutely lovely. The room was clean and tidy, we enjoyed a welcoming atmosphere with excellent service. We were only staying one night which was a shame - we would definitely return for a longer stay.

We stayed here for a wedding at a nearby venue. The owner who greeted us upon arrival was lovely, the place was immaculate, the rooms beautifully presented and spotless, the cute little country vibe going on was also welcomed as we are from busy city life, breakfast was lovely also unfortunately I was to hungover to finish. Would highly recommend and would love to go back in the future! We wish them all the best in the future, hard working people and deserve to do well x

Told them I was a vegan when booking with them, they provided a great breakfast with vegan sausages and even bought me oat milk as I preferred to soya. Very friendly and a lovely stay.
