Breakfast included turned out to be Bread/Cereals no cooked breakfast unless you paid £10. Excellent location, parking in street. Tiny room with hardly any space but It was fairly quiet. Disappointing really. Stains on the carpet and you could not adjust the shower. Curtains were thin and not black out curtains.

Clearly an old property very quaint and charming. In need of some maintenance in some areas. The bedroom was spacious and well furnished. The ensuite was very petite, good sized shower plenty of hot water at a good pressure. The toilet area was cramped, tight to use. Great cooked breakfast Charming pub very friendly staff and locals. On road parking which was fine. Easy to find space to park.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It was a lovely little Inn and the Village area very pretty. The room itself was nice; however smaller than what was expected as was the bed which was not that comfortable. We seemed to be the only people there which I found odd given when I booked it appeared the Inn was sold out. Breakfast was do it yourself with bread, cereal etc available in a small room next to the entrance. There is no one on site and instructions for getting in were provided by email. The room would be great for one person. The bathroom and room were clean ( carpet a bit dated). We only stayed one night on our way through I don’t think this place would have worked if we had planned to stay longer. I understand the Inn might be under new ownership or a new operator. There is a for sale sign in the outside. Overall it worked but as noted room and bed smaller than expected.
