"Very pleasant traditional Inn"

9.0

We stayed here for one night on our way north. The Inn is very old and has a lot of atmosphere in the bar area. The rooms are set slightly away from the main building. Some at the bottom of Cardiac Hill!! Though there is parking at the bottom and top of the hill, if you have mobility issues, you may wish to ask for a room which is more easily accessible. The rooms are traditionally furnished and comfortable. The Inn is dog friendly in the rooms and in the Inn itself, though if you are eating the dog friendly area is up stairs in the dog loft. We had both dinner in the evening and breakfast which were very good.
