The bedroom was spotless and a,decent size. The shower was excellent and the towels large and fluffy. We ate in the restaurant and i ordered a southern fried chicken burger, which turned out to be chicken strips! My wife had a smashed burger, and found paper in her burger, which put her off. When we told them she was offered a free drink, but we were ready to leave so she said no thank you. They didnt even take the money off for the drink she had. Seeking as the paper in her burger meant she didnt eat it all some money off or a free pudding would have gone a ling way.

Beautiful old inn and restaurant. Requested a level floor room and stayed in the converted "stables" - felt like a little cottage! Great atmosphere, great breakfast spread and enjoyed dinners in the restaurant. Overall - if you need to be in this area - stay here. Staff were great!
