"It was great and we would gladly stay there again."

10.0

The pub is a very old historic building with lots of character. We loved having a beer in the pub after a hard day of touring historic castles and manor houses. We had great conversations with local people in the pub. The breakfast was excellent and we ate in the restaurant all three nights of our stay.

Dinner and breakfast excellent

We stayed in least expensive and was comfortable but very small. One night was ok but upgrade for longer would be my advice.

"Wonderful cosy hotel"

10.0

The attention to detail. Couldn't fault anything about what they did to make it a nice dtay. The cooked breakfast was chef's kiss. Staff friendly.

Tilted foundation as I have vertigo. Room very small. Steep stairs. Despite these things, you forgive it as it's so good

"It’s always my first choice for a stay when in the area"

9.0

Location, clean, great staff, very good food, beautiful building.

Worst point I guess would be virtually no comfy seating in the bar to chill out on, only tables and chairs
