Positive:
The staff were friendly, welcoming and informative. We had a spotlessly clean room (one of The Barn rooms) which had vaulted ceilings, a very comfortable bed and a wet room. The restaurant was airy, with trifold patio doors on opposite sides of the room, which gave it a lovely open feel. One side opened onto a large patio with plenty of tables for outdoor dining, plus more tables outside the bar. It was a wonderful mix of old and new. Plus the added bonus of a live jazz trio who were amazing. What more could you ask on a hot summer’s evening?
Negative:
Couldn’t fault it.
Summary: We had a wonderful stay, in a great location, with comfortable surroundings and the staff were lovely … coping admirably

Breakfast was very good .Rooms comfortable and clean.Easy parking.
Negative:
Dinner wasn’t great ,quite expensive for the quality of the food.Had a problem with chicken being overcooked and was told something would be taken off bill but that didn’t happen.Also dogs allowed in the pub and after witnessing a couple of dogs have a go at each other didn’t feel comfortable eating there .
Summary: Accommodation good,Breakfast very food, evening menu expensive for quality of food.
