countryside retreat, really good experience!

cozy atmosphere friendly service

the pub had a lovely, very cosy atmosphere. i found the food to be first class, offering good value for the price. also, i appreciated that the accommodation was set back from the main road, so the traffic didn't bother me.

The room felt quite small and a bit cool upon arrival. the milk provided in the corridor fridge had a brackish smell. I had to purchase my own.

the superior double room was very spacious, the bed proving really comfortable. i also found the restaurant cozy, and the food tasted quite good. breakfast offered enough options and was plentiful, which i found really convenient when starting my day.

the milk provided for tea had a brackish smell, and i needed to buy my own. also, i found the room quite cold upon arrival and struggled to resolve the heating issue, and eventually i had to change rooms, which wasnt great.
