It was an small old property that was impeccably renovated with modern appliances but keeping the charm. The location was so central to everything. The owners allowed us to check in early and leave late which was a bonus. Could not recommend it highly enough.

    No breakfast offered in this location but complimentary breakfast cereal bars and tea bags etc provided. Lovely beamed decent sized room, self controlled heating/Aircon unit, comfortable bed, good bathroom (extractor fan broken). Food in restaurant/pub very good, large variety - reasonable price for the quality and quantity but not cheap. Plenty of garden seating. Location very close to town and river walk. I would recommend this Inn.

    Great location, near to where we needed to be. Very comfortable and well equipped. Plenty of parking. All you could possible need was in the kitchen, had a very homely feel. Very clean throughout. Rang before hand to ask about recommendations for Taxi and they were very helpful in providing a couple of firms. Happi Cabs were brilliant and easy to deal with.
