The pub itself is lovely with excellent food and atmosphere and the staff are friendly and helpful. The accommodation which was built in 2018 is in need of a refurb though - new carpets and a lick of paint would be welcomed with a tv remote that worked! But the bed was comfy and clean and a free glass of wine in compensation for a dodgy remote so all in all a very good experience

Absolutely incredible food - the staff couldn’t do enough for us in the restaurant when our fussy daughter was getting anxious. I never usually have pudding but I had to with the options they had and I’m so glad I did! Breakfast again was such good quality and yummy. The room was great and the bedding really comfy
