"Really lovely hosts - the accommodation is nice and the breakfast in the room is good too."

8.0

Really welcoming and kind hosts based at the pub - the accommodation is a sort of annexe to the pub. The food in the pub is great and it's a lovely place for a drink too. There is an Instavolt rapid EV charger just down the road at the Health Spa - so this is great accommodation if you have an EV to charge.

The shower is a wet room so it does get rather damp on the floor and doesn't dry very quickly - but we just put a towel down so we could get to the loo and basin without soaking our socks!

We absolutely adore this place! During our first visit to this village in 2023, we discovered this pub and instantly fell in love. When planning our return trip, we realised they also offer accommodation, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice to stay here. The room was super comfortable, with thoughtful breakfast essentials provided, which was a lovely touch. We had dinner in the pub both nights, and as always, the food was outstanding, the staff were fantastic, and the atmosphere was delightful. We can’t wait to come back next year. A huge thank you to Jan and the team! xx
