    Nice thatched pub in the countryside. Easy to park our car and just steps away to walk our dog. Nice ground floor room with excellent shower and a pleasant private patio. Lovely large fluffy towels and very clean.

    The room was nice with a large bathroom and shower. The food in the restaurant was excellent, the best I have had in the U.K. so far. The grounds were beautiful and the parking lot was extremely spacious.
