So so.

Lovely old Inn in cute area. Car park opposite. Beautiful in the pub area and nice room with cool artwork and period furniture. Comfy bed. Good size shower. Unfortunately it is tight next to the road with means noise all night. This was worsened by the extremely hot temperature inside the room. Very good breakfast with wonderful service.

Quaint property with lots of charm, but road facing room with lots of traffic noise ruined the experience overall. Restaurant for dinner was overpriced with small portions.

The place has a new manager from the day we arrived so not had any chance to improve things yet. The staff were friendly and good at their jobs. Could be a fab place. Just needs an update especially the rooms. Very tired.

Really nice Inn with good quality accommodation and easy parking. Food was great and staff friendly. Only thing that let it down for us was the constant hum of the ventilation system during the night.
