What friendly staff!!! Everyone was so helpful and chatty. Lovely menu with daily specials, chef's specials and normal pub grub. Nice atmosphere too as it is down a country lane, but locals were eating and drinking there. Will stay there again the next time we are in the areaQ

Easy access from the car park to our room. Room clean and met our needs. However, we would have preferred to have booked a room with a normal shower, rather than.
