Great Place at the end of the road
Staff were fantastic could not do enough for you, food was very good, only slight issue the window in the bedroom door needs a curtain to stop the security light coming in to the room at night.

A real gem
A real gem. Superb setting and a welcoming sight. The Inn, staff, service and accommodation were excellent. Chose the Inn as we were visiting family locally. Obviously a great deal of time and money spent on developing such a lovely property. I cannot recommend it more highly. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Excellent find, tucked away
Warm welcome, arriving just a few minutes before the kitchen closed was no problem and a lovely meal was promptly served. Location is very quiet so a good nights sleep. Room looked very new and was well appointed. Good quality monsoon shower over bath. EXCELLENT breakfast - when does thick slice bacon become gammon?? This must have been borderline, it was superb!
