I really enjoyed staying here - nice room, good food, a skittles alley to play on, and really friendly, accommodating staff. The only issue was that the accommodation can be a little noisy as it faces onto the beer garden of the inn, but I don’t think that spoiled our enjoyment (just something to be aware of)

The very best part of our stay was getting to know the owners, Paul & Jean. That said, the pub was cozy, good food, lovely room.
