Really nice friendly place. Good breakfasts, on site parking, hose to wash bikes. Next door to the pub for dinner or drinks. Only downsides are that the showers aren't that powerful and the duvets are very warm!

An excellent bed and breakfast establishment in an old building that has been thoroughly modernised. Lovely room with sun in the morning and a very comfortable bed. Friendly staff and a hearty breakfast completed the picture. The pub next door had an Italian chef who really knows how to cook and greets his customers. Sometimes the background music could intrude but maybe that is because we are a couple in our early seventies! I thoroughly recommend both establishments.

I am reviewing the restaurant not the hotel. The restaurant is sensational. I've never tasted such excellent food in a pub. The black truffle lasagne with Tuscan sausage was out of this world as was the gnocchi with oxtail as was the hazelnut semifreddo. The ambiance is very pleasant, service with a smile and some Italian banter... I can't recommend highly enough.

Such a beautiful, tranquil room with Egyptian cotton bedding for a very comfortable bed giving us a really good sleep. Everything is of high quality from toiletries to coffee. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend staying here especially with the quiet countryside surrounding it.
