Was looking for a decent hotel to break journey to Scotland. Stayed here and loved it. The staff were all very welcoming, the room was clean, fresh and a good size and the food, dinner and breakfast excellent. We loved the vibe and will definitely stop here again. Recommended.

Went for tea tonight. We attempted to order a 12 inch cheesy garlic bread EACH for a starter but the lady advised us to share. She was correct. After mains we were stuffed. Freshly cooked flatbread. Plenty of garlic and cheese. Nice dough too. We both had scampi mains. 10 decent sized bits with crispy fries and a salad. Very tasty. The service was great. Pub was packed for the football but it didn't intrude. Would recommend

Can't rate this place highly enough. We stayed overnight in their car park with our MoHo whilst en route to Scotland. The hospitality we received was second to none. Each and every member of staff were really friendly. We had drinks in the beautiful pub area and ate in the restaurant. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. A beautiful area and good location

We stayed at this hotel for one night with our dog and baby, and it was one of the most memorable stays we’ve ever had. Having experienced luxurious 5-star hotels in the UK and abroad, where you pay for top-tier amenities and service, I still prefer a place with genuinely friendly staff and a warm, local atmosphere. This hotel delivered on all fronts.The location was excellent, with a charming outdoor area for enjoying meals or drinks. The food was very good, though not perfect. The dog-friendly rooms were impeccably clean, well-equipped, and reasonably priced for such a quality local inn.The standout was a staff member named Marcel. He welcomed us at check-in, served us during a late dinner, and was there again for breakfast. When we found our car wouldn’t start due to a flat battery on a bank holiday Monday, with no shops open and no jump leads at the hotel, Marcel’s kindness shone through. He offered to drive to his own house to fetch jump leads. In the end, we managed to start the car another way, but his willingness to go out of his way made us feel truly valued.This was an exceptional experience, and we’d return in a heartbeat!
