The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Fantastic Comfort Food

I was thoroughly impressed with the hearty quality of meals offered during my stay. The steak and ale pie, made from scratch, was unbelievably delicious and had a wonderful homemade taste that surpassed my expectations. Each bite was packed with flavors, making it one of the best dinners I've had in a long time.

Convenient Parking

Parking at the inn was seamless, and I appreciated having a designated area right next to the entrance. It made loading and unloading my luggage hassle-free, and I never had to worry about finding a spot, even during peak hours.

Responsive Management

Having to cancel my plans due to unforeseen circumstances, I was pleasantly surprised by the understanding and prompt communication from the management. They waived my charges after I explained the situation, which was a significant relief during a challenging time.
