"Family run hotel and pub. Very friendly staff, delicious food and beautiful hotel room. We loved the beer garden and sat out for hours listening to the music. Reasonably priced too. Very impressed with the light up Hollywood mirror, it was just like I have at home! Will definitely return, thank you!"

"I really loved this place. My husband and I came here for a romantic getaway at the beginning of April. It was our first time staying here. The surrounding environment was beautiful, super clean and elegant, and very peaceful. The breakfast was delicious. I will definitely come back with my husband if I have the chance."
