We had an event in the area and stayed here for 1 night. Check in was quick and friendly. Was shown personally to our room. Food onsite was amazing ! Wi-Fi is fast and is critical as no signal in the area (Nothing the hotel can do about that) :) Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone !

Lovely place to stay

Very warm welcome, really good customer service. The rooms were spacious and well equipped, the tea, biscuits and Nespresso machine were very welcome. Food was excellent and the bar was very friendly. Cannot recommend enough, it is a pretty thatched pub in a very quiet hamlet.
