"Lovely old inn and very nice proprietor- would have been ok for the money with an included breakfas"

5.0

Breakfast wasn’t included - there was some cereal and coffee available.

Towels in room without asking. Bathroom was too small to use the shower privately, only appropriate for one person. Hand soap dispenser didn’t work.

"One night stay whilst walking the SDW"

8.0

The property is old and interesting. It is very central on the Main Street and ideal for anyone walking the SDW. The food in the restaurant in the evening was large portions and good quality. The room was clean and nicely decorated. We appreciated the kettle and the coffee maker. The staff were very obliging and friendly and always answered any queries made before our stay very promptly.

The continental breakfast included with our room was scant and unexciting. It seemed quite an expensive stay.

"The staff were excellent."

6.0

I would have preferred a cooked breakfast but, as I knew beforehand it wouldn't be available I was okay with what was provided. I brought my husband's gf bread.

Overall decor could really do with refreshing.

"A pleasant stay in a lovely location"

6.0

Great location in a very pretty village. Very tasty dinner at bar

The shower room was very constricted, one had to be a contortionist to use the basin. The furnishings felt a bit random.
