Lovely little pub with great food cooked in the outdoor kitchen so get all the Smokey grill effect and smells real good! The large garden is very relaxed where you can sit back and relax, there’s even plenty for kids to do with a straw bale seating area under under a tepee type cover. Indoors in just as nice with a rustic feel. The bedrooms are extremely cosy, the beds are really comfortable and everything is cleaned to a high standard. ##### CAROLYN Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer 27 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderful stay ##### Jennifer Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Salmaa 1 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Exceptional!
