All good, nice clean room, good selection of beers and wine, decent area outside if weather permits, and a very enjoyable meal in the evening. The village itself is very quiet, but would certainly recommend if looking for an overnight stay to break up a journey north or south.

Called on the last leg of a 3 week tour, hotel was conveniently located near the M6 and easy to find. We were well looked after from arrival to departure and nothing was too much trouble. We dined at the hotel and the food was excellent - would definitely recommend.

It’s a cracking pub with rooms. Lovely welcome, friendly staff, spotlessly clean, huge and comfortable bed. All complimented by very good food. The proprietors know what they’re doing and do it very well. I enjoyed my stay thoroughly.
