Charming and cozy little inn, well suited as a base for area excursions. Provides the basics, doesn't try to do more, though the pub is solid.

We had a fantastic stay. One of the most comfortable hotel beds ever. Decent shower. Great breakfast. Lovely staff. Good parking. Perfect location. Only improvements really would be a better TV and lighting in the bathroom and perhaps faster WiFi but these are minor. We will definitely stay again.

Had a lovely stay, really quiet room, comfy bed, delicious dinner and breakfast (we’re both vegan and were happy with choices available) and allocated parking. Beautiful river walk accessible from pub grounds. 100% recommend.

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!

Our stay exceeded our expectations: the staff were just wonderful. Warm, friendly, and helpful. The food was delicious. And the rooms were beautifully appointed and super comfortable. It was loved by children and adults alike. Yes, it’s a little more expensive than some places, but it was well worth it. We will be back.
