We only stayed here for one Night while in the area, lovely gardens,rooms are very nicely decorated with a modern bathroom, we had a few cobwebs but generally very clean, breakfast included which was very nice and enough for me if you are the sort of person that likes a huge full English you may be disappointed 1 sausage and 2 bacon but it was enough for us, Beds very comfortable had a lovely nights sleep.

Great hotel and restaurant

Superb hotel tucked away from the main roads in a lovely location. Pub/reataurant is excellent with wide choice of meals catering for all requirements. Lovely rooms in old farmhouse (beautifully restored) or new build timber-clad courtyard.
