Lovely character to the pub.comfy bed. Pillows were a bit soft.but other wise fine. Lovely breakfast

Bit dated in the rooms/bathroom but clean and fine for an overnight stay. Location of plugs by bed/ sideboards were awkward as my sister had a sleep machine but managed.

We were attending a dog show at the Royal Showground, enjoyed the rural location. Food was lovely and staff friendly.

Would have liked an earlier check in option. No other complaints.

"Overall, the location was beautiful, and the accommodation was exceptionally dog-friendly, which made our stay much easi"

6.0

Beautifully quirky place set in a charming village. The bar and restaurant feature stunning stone flooring throughout, adding to the character and atmosphere. There’s a great buzz in the bar, helped by the friendly locals, and meals and drinks were served promptly. The bedroom had a lovely window overlooking the village and rolling hills, a perfect spot to unwind. The bedroom had coffee making facilities with two lovely cups. The beds were comfortable, with nice, fresh, white bedding.

In the restaurant, the wall beneath the window had been partially boarded with loose wooden planks, which fell a few times during our visit, causing quite a noise. The menu was rather limited, and while the food was nicely presented and served hot, I felt it was a little overpriced. The bedroom and bathroom were both quite small and dated, and the television was positioned on a high ledge, which made it uncomfortable to watch from the bed. We went for breakfast at 9:30am after packing the car, only to be told we had missed breakfast, which was apparently served between 8–9am. We hadn’t been informed of this at check-in, and there was no information provided in the room either. The landlady insisted we had been told, but this was certainly not the case. That said, she did kindly offer us coffee, toast, and cereal, which we appreciated.
