Had an evening meal and overnight stay for hubby's birthday. Good food, friendly staff and welcoming for doggy. A good atmosphere and interaction with other guests who we discovered are regulars. A short pleasant walk into the village, though we arrived in the evening so it was very quiet.

The property is good and being a listed building limits the owner on what he can di with respect to windows . Therefore the road noise at the front of the building was an issue for us. The booking company we used Expedia did not inform the owner of our choice of a garden facing room so they spoilt our stay. The staff were excellent and we would stay again
