Reviewed Aug 10, 2026Loved the little cottages that we stayed in at the back of the pub, very quiet and secluded and very nicely modernised and decorated. Was really good that our motorbikes could be parked just outside the window in the adjacent car park.
Although there was a vegetarian option at breakfast, it would’ve been really nice to see that the venue catered for allergies like gluten-free or non-dairy. I have a huge nondairy issue and so, it left limited options, for coffee, and cereal. The cooked breakfast however was very welcome and well done.

Reviewed Aug 10, 2026Breakfast was very good, staff very attentive, food delicious.
Small things that should have been corrected before we arrived. Wardrobe door did not close so bin was put in front to keep it closed.The wardrobe handle was glued on and came off in my hand. Extension lead by bed rattled which I’m sure can’t be safe. Hand wash bottle on sink had a broken top so would not pump out. Temperature on shower was very temperamental, hard to regulate.
