Lovely country pub but we had a blocked shower so had to use the room next door. We were offered a complaint drink for the inconvenience. They promised to fix it but the same thing happened on day two. Breakfast is extra which makes a stay quite expensive .

Pub and accommodation was lovely. Really classy yet quirky. Great staff, spacious rooms and stunning dinner. But (randomly) I would go back purely to have their bacon breakfast roll again - hands down the best ever! And mine was gluten free. Simple things but epic!
