Stayed here overnight, as had a wedding reception just up the road. What an absolute gem of a place. Very friendly staff, who were happy to please. Food fabulous, decor of pub lovely. Room was amazing with a bath in the middle of it. Furnishings and decor so very tasteful and calming. Bonus a band in the garden at night. We will definitely be back . Thank you for a relaxing stay .
