the room was lovely, with an olde worldly feel and clean condition. i appreciated the hearty breakfast before my four-hour drive. plentiful parking was available, so i had no trouble finding a space. friendly staff checked me in quickly and showed me to my room.
the car park uses anpr checks, and i had to add my registration details. this. i found the shower room small and it smelled of drains. the room lacked a mat for dog bed and a bin near the garden for dog waste.

FANTASTIC Stay!
generous optionsbeautiful areaamazing singergreat selection
I REALLY loved the generous veggie and gluten-free food options in the restaurant! The dining area was beautifully decorated. It felt airy and modern. I enjoyed the live music in the pub area SO much. The singer was great! The wine selection was also a HUGE plus (i mean, who doesn't love wine?).
The car park uses ANPR. I had to add my registration details upon arrival. This caused me a small amount of stress regarding potentially staying longer.
