Three of us had lunch at this lovely inn/hotel. We had a dog, and they were happy to accomodate us with a table in a sheltered "tent" in the garden, which was perfect. I had the fishcakes, which were delicious and one of us had the lamb roast. It was pricey, but also good. A lovely lady named Jane took care of us, and came back twice to see if we needed anything. Excellent service- it is always nice to have someone check if our meals were going well. She (Jane) and another colleague, Amy, are a friendly and efficient plus to the inn.

Beautiful hotel and rooms were classically comfortable. Food was nice but staff were a little strange. It's like they'd never met 'outsiders' before
