We normally stay at Premier Inns but for once we thought we would try a village hotel and we were not disappointed. The hotel was clean, quiet and well run. Good nights sleep and then a warm and cheerful welcome in the morning from Gemma one of the girls in the restaurant. Gemma was polite, attentive and very efficient. In summary we enjoyed everything about our stay and would not hesitate to stay again in the future. Thank you

Noisy creaky stairs could hear people moving around outside our too no 6 all night so didn’t sleep that well, but I suppose it’s an old coaching inn, so to be expected I suppose.

A very comfortable bed, staff very friendly. No parking so had to park in nearby carpark. There was a Christmas party in the event room below us which didn’t finish till midnight and was very loud. If I had thought about it I wouldn’t have booked a town centre location so my fault.

Great location. Good sized room and clean inside. Excellent staff. Great breakfast for £12 per person. The bedroom carpet smelt of dog. The seat covers in the breakfast area were badly stained and both need deep cleaning. I would stay there again.
