We stopped in for a Saturday lunch and couldn't be happier with the experience. In a lovely little village it kept that charm but still felt modern and sophisticated inside. The menu was impressive, portions weren't huge but that kept the prices sensible without affecting quality. Staff were helpful and attentive. Well worth a visit

What a wonderful and unexpected find! We had dinner and stayed overnight in this lovely pub/restaurant/B&B last week for our wedding anniversary. The atmosphere in the bar was warm, plenty of locals and the dinner was excellent and good value for such delicious dishes. The room was beautifully and tastefully newly decorated with an extremely comfy bed and pillows. The staff were so friendly and helpful / nothing was too much trouble. I thoroughly recommend you stop by as we did.
