A great one night stop
Lovely boutique hotel and gastro pub with plenty of parking. Very friendly staff throughout. Choice of themed rooms, each seemed to have their own unique features. The dinner and breakfast the next day were excellent. Highly recommended.

The themed rooms are a must, we stayed in the chocolate room and were spoilt with treats. We were celebrating a birthday and the birthday boy was given a balloon, beer and card, to make the event more special. The staff were friendly. The tasting menu was delicious and substantial. The breakfast was a must and worth staying over for. The little extra, the home made granola, yoghurt with fruit compote were an unexpected delight. We left with a homemade chilli jam.

When I booked the room on Hotels.com web site I paid for a Delux room like the picture. Unfortunately was given the James Bond themed room, awful. Bed very uncomfortable & not long enough. I will stay again but not in that room

Top quality with a family-friendly feel
We had a superb time at our recent family reunion - the staff were welcoming and really friendly, the accommodation was very comfortable with a few extra touches that made the stay memorable, and the food was excellent - both the evening meal and the breakfast. Highly recommended and will be returning for sure!
