The included 'continental' breakfast was very poor. Apart from that the accommodation was excellent.

Great staff. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. They even changed rooms as our room got direct sunlight during a heatwave to another room for our last night so we could be more comfortable.

Lovely friendly country inn situated in a small, tidy, pretty Leicestershire village. Clean and comfortable with character. Absolutely lovely staff looking to help out wherever they could. We were 4 friends attending a music festival 7 miles away...
