The owner was very welcoming and couldn't do enough for me.
Room was comfortable and more than enough size for my needs. Got a bit confused with the TV as I couldn't get life tv but many apps were there to stream programs and films. Cooked breakfast was excellent.

Room v small (comfort double) but fine for single traveller.
Breakfast was really nice, served up by a good front of house host.
A bit of a remote location and pub closes at 930pm.

Lovely and quiet friendly village pub
Very clean but would have liked a chair in the room to sit on although in all fairness there probably wouldn’t have been enough room for one
Will definitely stay again if I am in the area
Unfortunately did not have breakfast as I had to leave early but based on everything else I am sure it would have been excellent
Highly recommend this place
