Lovely and helpful staff
Lovely inn along a beautiful river. Arrived late due to car troubles. Kitchen was closed and owner graciously offered to make something, which we very much appreciated. Volunteered to help with our tire issue but in the end rental car company sent some one. Would recommend to anyone.

Really old fashioned and poor service
Upon arrival I was rudely told that I had done my booking incorrectly and only booked 2 people instead of 3. Although they have no evidence that it was my mistake, they insisted that it was and were very rude about it. The rooms were very old fashioned and needed upgrading and had mould in the corner shower. There was very few options for breakfast, not much for vegans and no childrens options, it also wasn't well run as we had to hang around waiting for someone. The owners let their dog lick my childs face without trying to stop it or appologising too, I find that unacceptable.

Lovely setting
Very picturesque location beside the bridge over the river. Very attentive owner who was keen to make our stay comfortable. The room was comfortable with good quality furnishings. Great to sit out on the river terrace with a pre-dinner drink.

Disappointing Stay
Late booking meant that I had to accept the last room in the hotel which was a family room, but with a double occupancy price. When we arrived we found that the room was on the top floor looking down onto the A713 which was very noisy, the room itself could have done with a deep clean as there was quite a lot of dust and a number of spider webs on the ceiling. At dinner I ordered the Gammon Steak and my wife ordered the Haddock & chips, the food looked really good until I started to eat the Gammon, it had a sour taste and after eating a couple of pieces I decided not to take it any further and went looking for Mark who was working front of house and he offered to take it away and get something else for me, I opted for the Chicken but didn’t realise that I would have to wait a further fifteen minutes for my meal to arrive, by this time my wife had finished her meal. I asked Mark if anyone in the kitchen had tasted the Gammon and he said that he had and the meat was definitely off and couldn’t understand why. I wasn’t offered a reduction on my meal and for having to wait for the replacement dish.I paid Mark in full for our stay before we left. It wasn’t until later that day that I had to ring the hotel and left a message on their voicemail to make sure that no one else was served with the Gammon as I really didn’t feel too good, I thought that the hotel would have rang me back to see if I was Ok but they didn't. We won't be staying or eating there again
