United Kingdom

Reviewer Type: Couple

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: The location is idyllic; if you like characterful, old inns with quaint bedrooms and creaky floorboards in a peaceful rural setting, this is the place for you. A special mention for Angel who, when I reported the drain in our shower was backing up, had us moved into another room in less than 10 minutes. She acted with commendable speed and efficiency, ensuring we were comfortably established in our new room before attending to reporting the fault. The steak and ale pie was good too.

Negative: Nothing.

Summary: Pleasant and relaxing.
