Fantastic Inn Stay!

friendly staffdelicious breakfastprivate parkingamazing meals
The staff were super friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was delicious (I loved the fresh pastries!), and the dining options were varied, with something for everyone. The inn has private parking, convenient, and the rooms are separate from the pub, so it was very quiet at night. The chef deserves kudos for the amazing meals served daily.
The room's decor felt a little dated (a minor detail really!).
