Ĥad an excellent stay here. I knew we were in for a good time when, on arrival, I saw the complementary Yorkie bar left in our room!

The room was very comfortable (we were in a room called "Field", it did have low beams but we managed to avoid banging our heads! Bed was great which ensured a good night's sleep.  Bathroom was spacious with quality toiletries.

The evening meal was excellent and service was perfect.

We had a lovely stay thank you and shall return.

After seeing a friends food i thought I need to go there  - it was specifically for the surf and turf platter - despite booking there was a wait of an hour but atleast they were honest as I expect they don't want to compromise the food.  It was good and despite thinking we wouldn't eat it all , we did and I could have eaten more steak!  If you love fishy too then it's a must!  The car parking space was hellish though and the weather/ frost and ice didn't help - i would go again but in better light.  Pub and outside area was lovely looking.
