Charming Stay at a Proper Inn

professional teamcozy accommodationseparate accommodationoutdoor cafe
I found the team to be really friendly and professional. The pub and accommodation felt cozy. I appreciated that the accommodation was separate from the pub. I especially enjoyed the outdoor cafe space and the great coffee from the shop.
There was a slight noise from the boiler occasionally. It was not very disturbing however.

A Mixed Experience

cozy restaurantcomfy bedsloud boilerroom noise
The pub had a cozy restaurant with a lovely vibe. Rooms were very neat and comfortable. It feels like you're off the grid because of the location. Good design and comfy beds are present.
I had the silver buck room. A loud boiler noise occurred all day. I am not sure what that noise came from. It was on and off all day.
