Couple looking for a country escape
Room was simple, clean and had some lovely touches like local teas. Staff were friendly, helped us with great recommendations for sights, and even held a table for us the night we decided to stay in.
Not the cheapest option out there but still reasonable enough.

great location but noisy rooms
The location offers a peaceful village ambiance. The food quality at dinner was remarkable, truly elevating the overall experience.
The noise from the boiler extractor outside my window disrupted my sleep.

Charming little getaway
Had a lovely 3-night stay in a cozy double room. The quiet village setting was perfect for a relaxed vibe, and our meals at the pub were top-notch! Friendly owner really made us feel at home. Just wish the bathroom was a bit more spacious, but everything else was great.

Beautifully maintained garden area, Scenic village location, Cozy, inviting common areas
Some rooms feel outdated and desperate for maintenance!!! Limited parking availability could be inconvenient during busy periods!!! Noise disturbances from external sources can disrupt sleep!!! Event management seems unorganized, leading to chaotic experiences!!!
