Absolutely delightful 3-night stay at this lovely historic Inn. Staff were all professional, hard working, courteous and polite. Couldn't do enough for us. Breakfast was delicious with top quality ingredients - cooked to perfection. We had dinner two nights - again, lovely ingredients, really well cooked. All in all the perfect place to stay to enjoy the wonderful village and church. Will definitely come again

6/10

Disappointed with this stay after 2 lovely stays previously. Biggest issue was after paying for a more superior room, the bed was two very uncomfortable single beds put together. The matresses were uncomfortable leading to a really poor nights sleep. Other than that the room was cold and there was dubious staining on the bench seat at the end of the bed.
