From the moment you walked through the door you couldn't fault the staff. They were all very helpful & friendly. We ate in the bar in the evening & the Indian food was delicious. Breakfast was freshly cooked & the staff were attentive & on hand if needed.

A comfy chair in the bedroom would be good 😊

"Comfortable stay in quaint Inn"

The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The main room was extremely large. There was an en-suite bathroom also very large. The decor is very quaint.

Nothing really - all fine.
