This was our second visit and it did not disappoint. No table booked in advance as it was a last minute decision and upon arrival greeted with friendly staff who could not do enough for us. Luckily, they did manage to get us a table but with a warning they will need it back by 2pm. We arrived at 12pm so plenty of time. Service was exceptional, attention to detail was impeccable, food was divine, win was flowing, overall a superb afternoon. Thank you to the team. Arranging to come back again shortly and would highly recommend.

Freshly cooked,and very tasty Breakfast. Evening meals the same.
Comfortable rooms and very friendly owner and staff.
Perfect for rustic breaks in the countryside, an Inn is a small property with basic hotel services and typically traditional decor. Inns are fully licensed and have a bar providing food and drinks in the evening, which distinguishes them from country or guest houses.
Very comfortable bed and spacious room, a fantastic location for me right in the centre of town at an old coaching inn. Beautiful old building dating back a couple of centuries. Would recommend it. The food met expectations also the beer was very nice tasting, a best bitter.
We stayed here for a night prior to a wedding reception nearby.
The staff were all very friendly. Thank you Josh T for helping us out at dinner.
The room was well equipped, albeit a tad dated, lovely hot water from the shower.
It works as a pub but not as a hotel, it seems like the staff don’t know (or don’t care) that they have guests staying overnight. Bad manners, no dinner served for some nights without warning, locking doors while you are sitting outside. But overall just rude when telling you.
Had dinner in restaurant and it was lovely. Breakfast was not great. Bacon was cold and tried to toast some crumpets but toaster wasn’t working properly.
Our first trip to a holiday express,from the moment we walked through the door everyone was inviting,dinner excellent same for breakfast,
Room was lovely
The staff were so happy and pleasant, the man who checked us in (fri 28/7/23) was so helpful and happy. Breakfast and dinner was lovely!!
