adequate stay

large bed room car parking high price dog charge limited choice
the room was just right. it had a large bed and plenty of room. car parking was just outside the room.
i think the price did not represent the best value for money. i was charged more for my dog than advertised on the website. the dinner choices were a bit limited.

countryside getaway!

quiet room complimentary toiletries
The room was clean and quiet. complimentary toiletries, tea, coffee and biscuits were provided. A nice touch. the accommodation was separate from the pub, perfect for peace.
i found the dinner choices a bit limited. i also waited a long time for the food to arrive at the table. it was a bit frustrating.
