    The stairs to my room were a bit creaky!😬

    The whole experience was just lovely. I called ahead to check last time for ordering dinner. Turned out I was arriving exactly at that time -8pm so I pre-ordered steak, and it was served outside in the very sweet garden area within 10 minutes of arriving. The welcome by the barman was friendly. He showed me to my room, told me everything I needed to know and served dinner too. Dinner was super tasty, hot and well-presented. The Merlot was perfect and the Pavlova to die for! What I couldn't understand was why there was no one else at the pub below or anyone eating dinner! Because I found the whole village and hotel just lovely. I had the whole little oasis to myself and it was just what I needed after a few weeks of hard work! I felt myself relaxing like butter! I had an amazing night's sleep as it was so quiet. I had to leave early so didn't have breakfast. Parking in front of the hotel was close by. I will definitely try to stay there again

    In the morning, the water pressure for the shower was too low to have a hot shower but I understand this is a problem throughout the village due to morning demand.

    Friendly welcome, early check-in, clean and tidy room, fantastic evening menu and a wonderful, fresh cooked hot breakfast. Great value for money.

    Bath tub has quite high sides so for an older person may be a struggle to get in and out. Power shower a bit intermittent. Folding shower screen needs a good clean. TV signal is patchy but improves if you wiggle the wires on the back.

    Size of room was great. Location is a very small village. Bed was very comfortable and bedding was very clean.

    :) A very small thing; I would have liked a few hooks around the place to hang things on.

    The staff were very helpful and kind in waiting for us beyond the check-in time due to an unforeseen event that delayed our arrival. Since the room we had booked had suffered minor damage caused by a previous guest – damage which did not cause us any inconvenience – we were offered an excellent and generous breakfast free of charge the following morning, for which we are even more grateful.

    The staff member who met us was exceptionally friendly and helpful,he told us where to park our car as there was street cleaning the next day. I was very impressed at his care and consideration for surrounding houses and neighbours in this lovely, tiny village. Breakfast was delicious and generous and we were able to watch the horses out for their constitutional whilst eating it. The dinner menu looked good, was a bit disappointed we were unable to partake due the timing of our arrival and departure but will certainly try to do so when we are next in the area.

    That I had to experience it alone - I'll take my other half back for a weekend break.

    Beautiful style and decor. A step back in time in the most wonderful way. The room was tastefully furnished with a modern twist, and the food was excellent.
