I was about to book this inn from a well-known hotel site, but had a few questions about our two dogs. I messaged them on Facebook and had an immediate and friendly response from Dawn. Two dogs allowed, and at no extra cost. It was a very reasonable price, so we booked.
We arrived quite late, and were immediately struck by how cosy the inn was, with a roaring log burner, comfortable chairs and good atmosphere,
We were shown to our room, which was across the courtyard, set well back from the road. The room was warm, and clean and had everything we needed for a one-night stay. The en suite was immaculately clean and had plenty of towels.
Dawn told us about breakfast (8-9) and we booked for 8.30. We unpacked and returned to the cheery atmosphere of the pub for a nightcap, listening to a pub quiz that was taking place.
We slept well, no noise. from the country road. In the morning we walked over for breakfast. There was a great selection on offer (cereal, croissants, juice, etc., and a selection of cooked meals.
The lady that served us was chatty and very friendly and explained that everything was purchased fresh locally and cooked from scratch.
Nothing was too much trouble for her, and our dogs even got a plate of sausages each.
After breakfast, we went for a stroll with the dogs in the woods behind the inn.
It was a perfect setting. If we are in the area again, The Burlton inn will be our first choice. Outstanding service and value for money.
