    good breakfast
    cozy decor
    friendly vibe
    outdated room
    noise from guests

    the breakfast was good and the overall decor is really nice and cozy! the room was comfy and spacious enough for us as a couple. we loved the friendly vibe of the pub and it was lovely to have some onsite parking.

    the room felt a bit outdated and we were disappointed that the bathroom door was hard to lock. also, there was some noise from other guests which made it difficult to sleep well.

    slow service

    Perfect spot for a family stay

    We had a fab time in the family suite. The food was nicely presented, and the location was just perfect for exploring. One thing tho, the staff seemed to be a bit sparse during breakfast rush, which made service slow. Plus, a claw-foot bath in the room was an unexpected treat!

    clawfoot bath
    full english breakfast
    garden area
    spotty wi-fi

    I loved relaxing in the cozy clawfoot bath after a long day of hiking, and the lovely full English breakfast was a great start to our mornings. The hotel has a fantastic garden area to unwind in and some enjoyable walking paths nearby. The only downside was that the Wi-Fi was a bit spotty at times, but it didn't take away from my overall stay. 😊

    personalized service

    Charming, Charming, Charming

    Each corner of this delightful inn oozes charm, from the inviting decor filled with plants that make you feel like you're outdoors to the individual garden accessible from our room—perfect for morning coffee with our dogs! The food was seriously delicious. I still dream about that white chocolate raspberry cheesecake! Plus, the personalized service was a game changer—like when staff surprised my husband with a birthday treat at dinner. It felt like a home away from home!

    location convenience
    home-cooked breakfast
    comfortable night
    noise disturbance
    robotic service

    The location was a highlight during my stay, near the historical village. I enjoyed the home-cooked breakfast available in the quaint surroundings. I had a comfortable night, and it felt convenient for exploring the area.

    The service felt somewhat robotic and lacked a personal touch given the setting.

    Cozy stay with great vibes

    I stayed for 1 night and was pleasantly surprised. The room had loads of tea & coffee, and everything was super clean. The bar area had a nice chill vibe, and the food was top-notch. Only thing was that the Wi-Fi was a bit hit or miss, but it was nice to disconnect for a bit.

    thoughtful layout
    exceptional staff
    lacking handrails
    limited accessibility
    inconvenient hours

    The family room featured a practical layout with a separate bedroom for our daughter, highlighting the thoughtful design for family stays. Cleanliness was top-notch, and the food exceeded expectations, especially breakfast with a variety of delicious choices. the shower lacked necessary handrails, making it unsafe and uncomfortable to use, and access was limited. The limited food service hours were slightly inconvenient but the staff's willingness to accommodate our late return made a positive impression.
