“ I've stayed here twice in the past couple of weeks. The food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner is really good - beautifully presented and delicious. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable. The prices are very reasonable when compared with other local hotels. It's a small place so there isn't always a member of staff available, but the service has always been excellent for me. ”
“ The room was very light and airey. Nice ensuite bathroom. The only negative was no bottled water in the bedroom. Food was very good especially the cheeseboard prepared by Tessa. Breakfast was very good. Possibly the owners might want to improve the signage from the road as we missed the entrance on arrival. ”
“ Found this small hotel/bar/restraunt by Google search when my pre booked choice had let me down. Only contacted them very late on day of arrival, fortunately they had space for 2x double rooms available.The staff couldn't have been more helpful. Kitchen only open to order food unit 20:30, but the food was really well prepared and menu reasonably broad. The bar shuts at 22:00 and there are no staff available after that... a pity as I would have had another drink. Breakfast not included in room rate and only available from 09:30. I couldnt fault the quality and value for money of the full English breakfast £10 other than it should have included coffee/tea. Still it was excellent. The room I stayed in was well laid out & had good facilities. Plenty of hot water at a good pressure to have a very welcome shower. The bathroom also had a large corner bath. Despite the proximity to the A40, traffic noise want an issue, even with thd room window well open. Overall ... a great stay. Well done to the all the team here ... yes, I will be back. ”
