• Susan (10/5): A lovely old pub with rooms. The hosts were very friendly and offered lots of things to do locally. - The friendly warm welcome when we arrived. The breakfast was amazing and nothing was too much trouble for us fussy bunch of eaters! The building is steeped in history and the owners were able to tell us a lot about it. There was a lovely cosy feel about the place. This is very picky but it would have been useful to have additional sockets beside the bed to recharge devices. In such an old building I can see how adding additional socket could be challenging.
• Joanne (10/5): - Julie and Steve were wonderful hosts and provided us with great information for exploring the area. Brewster the dog was great for a cuddle! The breakfast was amazing!
• jonathan (10/5): -
• Alana (9/5): A lovely quaint village seeped in history - A lovely quaint village seeped in history. The property was very safe with a private entrance to save entering via the pub, should you not wish to do so - a fantastic location to nip downstairs for a drink or two! Our stay was very comfortable in the Flock Suite - a lovely modern bathroom, comfortable bed, with access to a mini fridge out on the landing. Breakfast was lovely with lots of choice. Julie and Stephen were great hosts, and were more than happy to discuss the local area which was a great help for us - would recommend this venue for solo travel as well as with family/couples. Brewster, the pub dog, was a delight! So very friendly and we looked forward to seeing him each time. N/A

Thank you, Steve and Julie, for another perfect stay. You are exceptional hosts. There is nothing that anybody could possibly dislike.
