Staff are very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed a lovely meal on Saturday night. My husband had the Gammon and I had the Fillet Steak, both meals were excellent!

Good breakfast. Very friendly staff. Comfortable room, though the shower was a bit fierce, had to adjust it carefully so it wasn't too hot!

This is a cosy Inn surrounded by nature. When we arrived we were not sure of how it will be like. But the inn was inviting with lot of wide parking space. The land lady was very helpful. After check-in she guided us to the rooms. The rooms were very clean and well kept. There was tea and hot water kettle. There was a common freeze which was packed with coffee, fruits and option of cereals in case u fill hungry at night. The land lady offered to make vegetarian breakfast for us which we will try tonight. The view from the inn is stunning. The pub has a pool table to play. The floors are a bit squeaky

We just stopped in for a drink this time. Good pint of Facers, D. H. B
The food looked good and it's always worth a visit. Difficult to find but signed once you leave the A55 at junction 32.
