Two night stopover enroute to Cornwall.
The hotel owners were very pleasant and helpful. Some aspects of our room needed refreshing. Breakfast and dinner were both excellent.

Cannot fault any aspect of our stay. Really nice hotel, restaurant is excellent and well worth a visit. The service there was perfect, the small team there could not do enough to help.

Naomi

Liked: Staff & service
I only used the room, and did not try the food. So this review is just that. Unfortunately the room I was in was downstairs, and could very clearly hear all the footsteps and movements on the floor above. The room had a very strange smell, and it just a feeling of not being very well cleaned or cared for. The blind was filled with dead bug marks for example. I would not stay there again, and found the parking quite difficult as there were limited spots, all taken.

Nice family stay
We spent a lovely night at Yalbury cottage in early March. The food is fantastic. We sat in a beautiful and cozy dining room with our kids. The inn is simple and quiet. While next to a road, hardly a car passes. Lovely place and very competitive prices.
