Haven after a days walking.

Lovely room, bit cold, but extra blankets were available. Food was excellent and the staff were friendly and easy to find when needed. Brilliant hot shower after a day of walking the Ridgeway.

Highly recommend

In a pretty little village, very cute with friendly staff who make you feel right at home. Lovely little pub with great food cooked in the outdoor kitchen so get all the Smokey grill effect and smells real good! The large garden is very relaxed where you can sit back and relax, there’s even plenty for kids to do with a straw bale seating area under under a tepee type cover. Indoors in just as nice with a rustic feel. The bedrooms are extremely cosy, the beds are really comfortable and everything is cleaned to a high standard.

Cracking spot, amazing food and great value

Warm welcome upon arrival and shown to our room. Fantastic communal space that can be enjoyed at any time. The room was a great size with tea/coffee making facilities and amazing toiletries. The breakfast was excellent quality with lots of options. If im ever in the area again I would 100% stay here again.
