Historic inn with great accommodation
Beautiful old inn that has been tastefully modernised. The bedroom and bathroom were spacious and comfortable. Excellent food and real ale available all day and evening. Surrounding countryside is stunning.

We were made to feel very welcome. My husband of 53 years and I had our first candlelit dinner in years in a window alcove. Our needs were unobtrusively met. Will stay again

Very friendly staff, great for dogs . Our room (2) was massive, so no shuffling around the bed as in a lot of places.
Food good too. The dog enjoyed her sausage for breakfast.
