what a beautiful place to stay, wonderful pub with lush rooms will definitely stay again
Stayed 1 night in May 2025

10/10

The room was beautiful. We had been to a wedding so they allowed late arrival back. The only feedback is they the room was stifling hot to enter. There wasn’t air conditioning but there was a fan they I was happy with. The pillows were so comfy and it was a luxurious stay. Would return. Breakfast was also delicious.

Really lovely property and great evening staff offering a really warm welcome. The morning staff didn't seem quite as enthusiastic but maybe that was just the time of day!? The facilities lose a star because the breakfast is not included and can be very expensive if you include a couple of coffees, orange juice, cereal and cooked breakfast. Great stay overall though.

Lovely hotel and will definitely be returning. The restaurant was very good too! It was good that the room had a door out to a small terrace and the car park so I was able to use this to let the dog out.

We stayed the this property for one night and was not disappointed. From the minute we arrived we were greeted by friendly staff who showed us to our gorgeous room for the night. The interior decor of the room was beautifully thought through and fet cosy and homely. We were provided with a selection of coffee pods to use on with the coffee machine, whilst also having milk and a bottle of water available in the fridge. The room was well maintained and cleaned to a very high standard. Even though our room was closest to the bar, we found our room to be quiet even until the pub closed. The food was magnificent! My partner had the steak whilst I opted for one of the fish specials. The food was amazing and would highly reccomend friends and family pay the restaurant a visit. The breakfast in the morning was well presented and delicious! Although not local to the area I will be speaking highly of this place to anyone planning a visit up this way.

We were put in a room in the attic only had sky lights extremely hot can’t open windows because raining so felt like you were in a box no view at all just the walls very claustrophobic. Bed low and uncomfortable main problem was the beams hit head about 36 times food was good but very over priced on whole couldn’t wait to leave it was not a good stop over they put us in that room even though website said they still had 4 others same category available on website deluxe king size so why put us in the worst room all others on site had windows and view but you put us at top of building in a horrible hot nothing room that should be used for storage only had we not travelled so far to get to your hotel we would have left on complaint in morning you said it was hot all rooms well it was raining and 14 deg so ???find that strange you also said what room and oh yes they always hit there heads that room again if you had spare rooms why not put us in there . Not liked we turned up and only room you had left and did we want it I booked this months ago was mislead by your pictures on web

This is a great place to stay but the restaurant is primarily fish-based dishes. Rooms very nice, modern but charming. Staff great. Good bar. Nice outdoor space. Easy parking. There's a lot to like!
