Lovely bed and breakfast and restaurant in a renovated arts and crafts public house. Dinner high quality and had many gluten free and vegan friendly options. Breakfast was included and tasty. All rooms are up a flight of stairs with no elevator, owing to the historic nature of the building. Great value for the price.

Had a very pleasant stay with our dogs and especially like the home cooked breakfasts. Could have done with better lighting in our room as it was a bit dark due to small windows. Will definitely book again!
