We received a warm and friendly greeting upon arrival and were looked after extremely well for all of our stay. The hotel is spotless throughout and is run by a family who want their visitors to enjoy their stay. Food is excellent and is cooked to order. Delicious!
Only slight downside is that as this is a small hotel, there are no lifts thus it is not really suitable for those with mobility issues as all rooms are 'upstairs'. For all other visitors, you will enjoy your visit.

Have stayed here several times before and hope to again. As ever, everything was flawless - splendid dinner, comfortable room - particularly like the en suite, substantial breakfast and, surpassing all, friendly, obliging service. Surely a benchmark for all those who purport to run a 'country inn'.

A lovely location the New Inn is a fine combination of older characteristics and modern requirements for the leisure traveller.
The hosts, Nicky and Richard are a friendly caring team together with their front of house lead Louise.
We enjoyed their meals served with generous portions. Home cooking is the accurate description.

I have stayed here a few times now and each time has been very good. Rooms are clean, beds are very comfortable, breakfast is spot on and the evening meals are delicious.
I have to have a gluten free diet and the Farthings are extremely accommodating.

Lovely room and great hospitality with good food. Sloping floors and stairs only in this old building but centrally situated close to the minster and independent shops -a wonderful bookshop and hardware store especially.

The breakfast was superb. It was so nice having a breakfast that was individually cooked and delivered to the table hot.
The property is old and the floor in my room was at a slight incline. Not a problem at all but I did describe it as being like the house in the film of The Ladykillers - and that is with total affection as I love that film.
Ate in the restaurant on one evening - good food and a good price.
Would recommend!

Perfect for a couples weekend away! Excellent stay thank you all! So nice to sit on a terrace looking at the beach and sea, whilst eating a very good breakfast.
Booked with our 12yo Labrador. Stairs were a tad steep but she was happy being carried up 😁
Staff are very helpful and the location is just stunning!
We will be back
