Lovely Inn in pretty village with swans

I love coming to stay here, it’s one of my favourite places and I try to come every year. The proprietor is charming and funny and often feeds my dog sausages! The atmosphere is great.

The pub was old and very attractive and the food was great. The room was querky but clean and everything worked. Out stay was spoiled by a very uncomfortable mattress.

Don't come here if you are in a hurry

Functional rather than cosy room. Problem was 75 minute wait after ordering for evening meal and over 30 minutes for breakfast.

Good location, convenient for local transport. Good food available in the evening. Basic cooked breakfast - with no cereal, fruit or other things to enhance it - and it took ages. If you are in a hurry, the wait for cooked breakfast is bad news. It was cooked to order (which is good) but took longer than you would ever expect.

The room is basic and you get what you pay for…. The shower was weak and cold … had to run sink water for 5 minutes to get it hot after giving up on shower after 10 minutes trying to get a bearable temp. When breakfast slot is only 8 til 9 am this is important stuff people!!.However, staff were lovely and evening meal was excellent value and very well presented . Would have liked a choice of brown or white toast for breakfast and to be told what options there are as there is no menu … cooked breakfast is rather assumed to be your preference
