“This beautiful 200 year old pub is English charm at its best. On a quiet lane in a tiny village, with stunning views and walks where you see sheep, cows , horses and llamas. They provide everything to make your stay so comfortable.”

“Room as lovely, very old feeling which I like. Shower was hot, but in most rooms we have to use a towel on the floor for the shower. A good Bathroom mat would be good. Bed comfortable, good night's sleep.”
