Could be so much better
Quick check in, good bar with lots of real ale. OK pub food. Excellent breakfast. The room was fine, other than the window not fitting (potentially a problem in Winter). But the bathroom was truly awful, it was clean, but so scruffy, with grotty lino and the enamel peeling off the bath. It could be so much better.

Our stay here was brief but I was happy to see that they were willing to serve dinner not long before closing. (There aren’t a lot of dining choices nearby.)
It is an older property but everything functioned and was clean. Boot tray in the closet for wet boots was a good feature, although we lucked out with the weather. We also appreciated the bottled water.
We enjoyed the cook-to-order breakfast and overall friendliness of the property. The view of the bridge and stream was outstanding.

Another enjoyable stay.
We visit most years and always enjoy it. The bar/restaurant is also great (the salmon linguine was superb!)

Our short stay
Staff seemed like they did not want to be their the first evening meal we had on the Sunday 6/7 was just about ok complained and some elements were not charged for it’s an old building so you expect some things not looking good here tho the older part of the building was tired cracked sink in our room . Carpets coming away at edges and on step up to room, you get the idea
