Beats bland chain hotels by a country mile

Lovely family run pub in very quiet location with rooms and great home made meals. Easy reach of A1M and A19. Very welcoming after long day and very sociable. Brilliant cooked breakfast and lovely to see a community pub so popular with the locals.

A traditional country pub with great service from friendly staff. The room was comfortable and good value for money. If you don’t eat here you will miss out as the food is extremely good, far better than many places on our trip. Will definitely stay again.
