Warm, comfortable room. Very good breakfast. Disappointed not to be accommodated for dinner, despite having attempted to reserve a table when booking!

Quaint and friendly with reasonably priced high quality food. Always full on a Sunday and a good place for Sunday lunch.

A beautiful restaurant with lovely, attentive staff. The chef Lee went out if his way to cater for my request for a super nutritious gluten free meal. I was really humbled to see how much cared. Thank you Lee!! Happy Christmas to you all.

Nice Inn in the middle of town. Good rooms and bar. Breakfast was excellent. Only thing wrong was no restaurant after 4 on Sundays. Not a problem though.

Lovely Sunday dinner. Got there just after 3pm. No booking but got sat straight away as table free. Can't fault the food for a very decent price.
