Countryside enfolded the TJS and as soon as we walked in we were made to feel welcomed. Our room was clean and fresh. Everything you needed had been thought of, big walk-in shower. fluffy robes, small fridge with water and milk for your tea. We only had breakfast but was freshly cooked and lasted us all day. We loved our stay and would definitely go back. TJS gets our thumbs up.

We absolutely loved our stay last year. The room was big and really warm. We loved our homemade truffles and the cordial. The breakfast in the morning was a delight and cooked to perfection. The staff clearly love their jobs everyone smiling at each other super helpful. No hesitation with coming back!

Beautifully unassuming from the outside. Once you enter the restaurant and bar you immediately feel the relaxed atmosphere. The dining area is lovely. Our room was absolutely gorgeous. Everything you needed was provided. The ensuite was stunning. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

LITTLE GEM TUCKED AWAY DOWN A LEAFY LANE
Great stay. Arrived late in the evening with not much charge in my electric car. They sorted out an extension lead so I could get some emergency miles. Nothing was too much trouble and the bed was super comfy Would have liked breakfast slightly earlier but that’s just my personal opinion
Great food
Torchlight and brolly supplied 🤪
