8.4/10 Very Good! (1,002 reviews)
The beer was cold and breakfast hot! Helpful and friendly, chatty staff. There’s a Waitrose next to the hotel for any bits & bobs you might need during your stay.
Breakfast had a fair variety including make-your-own pancakes and lots of breads/pastries. Choice of non-dairy milks including oat and almond.
Good overall.

9/10 Wonderful! (71 reviews)
Very nice Inn. Room was spacious, clean and well maintained. There was no shower in my room which I prefer, and instead a bath was in the actjual bedroom with a shower attachment. The food was very good. I had the cured trout and fish and chips, which although expensive, was of top quality. The cooked breakfast was one of the best I've had, but as i don't eat much bread or pastries, they could have done with some yoghurt and a better selection of fresh fruit. Overall thoiugh, I would recommend this place.
