Comfortable Stay with Great Food

spacious roomdelicious breakfastlimited menu
The room was spacious and well-furnished (it seemed like a home away from home). I found parking very easy on the premises. The full English breakfast was included and delicious. The restaurant offered a wide selection and an excellent carvery.
I noticed the vegetarian menu choices were limited (this could definitely be improved). It's important to cater to different dietary needs.
Dining
9/10
The breakfast had an excellent choice of food. The carvery is available every day and well prepared. Prices are competitive, especially considering the quality and portions provided. The service was prompt and attentive.
Location

The Inn is situated in open countryside. While you will need a car to explore the surroundings, it is quiet and peaceful. Parking is plentiful, including at the rear with a separate entrance. It is very accessible.

I found the bed to be quite uncomfortable. I could feel the springs. The cleanliness in the bathroom was not good. The toilet almost overflowed when I flushed it. I think the rooms could use some updates.
