The market and high street were a little disappointing, but the area by the canal and back streets were nice. Best pubs in the area are Boat House, Beer Engine and Narrow Boat, all great beer/drinks and friendly welcome.

"The room was very small but very nicely set out. The bed was very comfortable and everything you needed in the room for a lovely overnight stay. The breakfast was delicious, we didn’t eat an evening meal but the bar area is really nice. Nice touch in your room were 2 vouchers for 2 half pints of Timothy Taylor’s beer. "
"Well impressed with the Inn overall but particularly the room which was spacious and fitted out with the best linen, bed, room and bathroom furniture.
The best ingredients for the food too.
Ideal location for the multiple walks in the area.
To be recommended. "
"Felt right at home. Extremely friendly and helful staff. Great having ensuite. Beautiful place to sit and look at the scenery. Convenient drive to locsl villages. Thank you."
