    The room was a little warm, though the fan provided did help somewhat. But that would be nit picking.

    Was in a great location, away from the hustle and bustle, but not so far out it wasn’t too difficult to get to. The food was great, had two evening meals and two breakfasts, all excellent, good quality, good portions and not too expensive.

    The breakfast was excellent however the evening meal was disappointing. We waited a hour for our meal, spoke to the lady behind the bar and she mentioned to the other staff that ‘John’ had walked out. The steak arrived and it was over cooked. I spoke to the person who delivered our meal and he said he would speak to the chef and that was the last time we saw anyone. The pub was not organised when delivering meals. Several people inquired about the time of their meals arriving.

    Excellent breakfast and lovely staff

    We were in the attic room and there was quite a low beam which my husband knocked his head on.

    The room was clean and warm, comfortable bed and good shower. The food in the Inn was very good and a reasonable price.
