Great place to stay

Amazing pub and accommodation, friendly and clean, just felt a little uncomfortable hauling luggage through people eating at tables. However, such warmth and friendliness from start to finish and every person we met is invested in the comfort and experience of their guest's

A gem of a place to stay

What a lovely find! I usually stay in another establishment nearby when I am on business in the area but tried this instead. I stayed in the beautiful attached building in a wonderfully clean and comfortable room. Staff and the service was wonderful and the food choice and quality was at the top level.

Everything about our stay was superb. All the staff and management were professional, very friendly and helpful.

We arrived at the hotel in the middle of storm Henk which was quite stressful but the staff were very welcoming. 15 mins later the whole village lost power. Although we weren’t able to get a cooked meal they produced a delicious charcuterie board by candlelight. The staff were upbeat despite the situation. The room was very comfortable and we would definitely stay again.
