A beautiful pub with stunning garden and setting, great food and beer selection. Staff are really helpful and attentive. Rooms are a little old but still very comfy and have everything you need. I stayed for business in the area but a great place for a holiday stop as well!

We only stayed one night in a double room with en-suite in Hattie’s House which is a building across the car park and had a wonderful evening meal in the pub itself.The interior of the pub was exceptionally warm and inviting. The breakfast was good also.

This was a lovely find! We planned a last minute trip to do some walks in the area. This place was perfect for us - the room was basic but clean and really comfortable, the staff were all friendly, it’s a lovely location and the food is excellent. We’d definitely go again.
