Fantastic Food, Friendly Staff, Wonderful Pub!

tasty dinnercomfy bedminor issueoverall experience
The dinner was tasty and enjoyable. I slept very well in the comfy bed. I only found minor issues like a loose toilet seat and a shower head that did not sit firmly. I enjoyed everything overall.
The room felt a little cramped. Still, it was manageable and didn't detract too much from my stay.
Service

The inn is located in a rural setting. The area includes comprehensive outside and garden facilities. I saw some covered areas plus many picnic benches and tables.

the pub was full of character (i loved the atmosphere). everyone was really friendly including the locals. it was only a short walk into the village. the room was a comfortable cosy space.
the shower tiles and door had some black mold. i also noticed stains on the landing carpet. i thought the continental breakfast selection was pretty poor.

The staff was friendly and helpful.
The DIY breakfast was quite poor. The coffee tasted weak, and the bread seemed like it was from a packet. I found the selection rather disappointing. There was no cooked option available either. It didn't feel like great value for the money.
