Craig Sep 11, 2025 01:49:38 AM
Summary: Welcoming at reception, room was pleasant, clean and modern. Unfortunately I think it was next to the toilets from the pub/ restaurant so was noisy until quite late. The room was warm and when I opened window the beer garden has piped music so had that to contend with as well. Breakfast was included and service was good. Unlikely to be back now if I’m honest.

joe Jul 25, 2025 08:18:27 PM
Summary: I have stayed here many times and never had any faults the rooms are very clean and all on ground level a private door into the pup and the meals are excellent with a good choice, breakfast is super , hotel is off the main road so is very quiet
Stephen Jul 17, 2025 11:53:40 PM
Summary: Delighted with the hotel and the restaurant. This time my wife and I did not have our usual companion, our Border Terrier with us as we had been attending a wedding. We would love to use the hotel again, but. as there is a no pets policy, then this unlikely to happen. The refurbished bathroom with walk in shower was excellent with one little fault - the rain shower head really needs to extend further into the shower cubicle!

Summary: Great overnight stop and the food was amazing. Will definitely stay again on my travels

Summary: Friendly & very reasonable. Lovely breakfast. Very hard to find - satnav puts it wrong side of the A1.
Gary Jun 12, 2025 03:38:38 PM
Summary: Friendly staff, excellent food.
Charlotte Jun 12, 2025 01:22:33 AM
Summary: The service was amazing, the food at the pub was great (especially the lemon meringue cheesecake!), the only thing that really let this place down was the rock hard bed. I have osteoarthritis in my hip and he’s beds equals chronic pain and zero sleep for me. Such a shame as everything about the stay was perfect!
Christine Jun 8, 2025 12:57:51 AM
Summary: We only had an overnight stay but would have happily stayed longer.
Alan Jun 6, 2025 04:39:38 AM
Summary: A great Inn with nice staff and pretty good food. Just missing an electric car charger point and it would be a 5 star rating.
