We had a 2 night weekend break here. We were in a very large family room above the main bar. Our greeting was friendly and helpful and the room itself, although dated in decor, was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was lovely,,and again served by friendly staff. The accommodation suited our purpose and we would use it again.
Absolutely amazing! I held my wedding reception here and they went above and beyond! Everything was perfect and just as I wanted! I couldn't have asked for more. The garden is a stunning location to hold a wedding and the landlady blew it out of the water! She's one of the nicest friendliest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting!
