The Inn has a really welcoming feel and the food is excellent, with generous portions. The staff are all very welcoming. I have stayed in both rooms 3 and 4. Room 4 has a large bathroom and a reasonably sized bedroom with a four poster bed. The style is very traditional and comfortable. Room 4 also includes it's own small lounge with bed setee and TV. Room 3 is more modern in finish and includes a large bathroom and a large bedroom which has a modern four poster bed (that creaks a lot when you turn over!) and a bed setee. Both rooms were clean and well finished but room 4 felt that style had triumped over function to some extent.
The inn has a large car park (very necessary as it gets busy) and a slightly tired children's play area. Children are welcome in selected parts of the pub. One unusual feature is a sit on diesel train they run in the garden.
I would have given 5 stars but for the slight disappointment with Room 3 and also because whilst we were there they had a leak in the family room but instead of closing that section they just put a bucket there and expected people to put up with the smell of damp carpets (until a member of staff responded to our comments and found us somewhere elses to go). Overall though, highly recommended. read more
