"There’s a rustic charm to this beautifully restored Victorian inn, where they make excellent use of the surrounding estate. The dishes are powered by organic produce from their own farms, which is then turned into a mixture of traditional and modern pub food. Generous and flavourful dishes do these local ingredients proud. A fire-lit lounge and 11 pleasant, relaxing bedrooms complete the package." - Michelin Inspector

Our first visit and they did not disappoint. The experience made our wedding anniversary even more memorable. Without asking, my wife was treated to non-alcoholic bubbly (pregnant) and we were presented with a complimentary chocolate brownie and piped-chocolate congratulations message! Beautiful setting, calm, homely and clean dining space. Would recommend to all ages and stages!

We did a large group run nearby and were lucky enough to be provided with breakfast and tea/coffee afterwards and I’ve got nothing but praise the food was awesome you could taste the quality with as much tea and coffee as we wanted. The service and attention to detail we received was second to none so much so that we are arranging another run out there in the near future as well as looking at dinner bookings too. To put it in a few words … we loved it. Thank you to the most attentive and accommodating staff for looking after us. We will be back.

We had a family birthday weekend here and had a lovely time. The rooms are well decorated- comfortable beds and nice showers. The menu featured local produce and all food was well prepared and presented. All staff were friendly and their care and attention helped make the weekend very special. Many thanks

We stayed here for a long weekend to get some much needed downtime from the world. Although the Inn is located along a B road, it's not one of those high-hedged SW roads and getting here is nice and easy. We were in the family room with our dog which was very, very spacious including a very comfortable super king size bed. The bar/restaurant area is large. The food is really good with most, if not all of it, locally sourced. There are also a number of walks on the doorstep which great because it means you don't have to travel if don't want to. Lastly the staff were fantastic and friendly. Our dog, Lilly, is blind and the staff made a lot of fuss of her which is always a winner.

Had an amazing dinner there. Excellent terrine and delightful hake, samphire and new potatoes main. Beautifully presented, excellently cooked. Staff were very attentive and gave some great wine recommendations. Loved it! Highly recommended. Food locally sourced and prepared with passion. If I lived closer I'd be a regular!

We went for an unplanned family lunch. We walked in and hadn't booked. We had a very warm welcome, great service and delicious food. We enjoyed it so much we've booked an overnight stay in a few weeks time.

Excellent locally sourced food, friendly attentive staff and very good value. We stopped here once we had our car back after having stayed two nights in another nearby hotel where we were without our car. What a breath of fresh air this place was! Really great food and all the staff were friendly and helpful while managing to not bother you. Wish we could have eaten here every night as it was actually cheaper than the place we stayed nearby and many times the quality.
