    breakfast options
    cozy ambiance
    lunch menu oversight
    poor communication
    small room

    An enjoyable evening meal and breakfast highlighted the stay, showcasing great food options, including salads. the lack of a separate lunch menu and insufficient communication about room amenities detracted from the experience. The small room was cozy, but a recommendation would be to opt for a larger room for an extended visit. Lovely surroundings made the trip memorable despite some service oversights.

    comfy room
    friendly staff
    noisy pub

    omg, this place is just lovely! from the moment i walked in, the vibe was sooo welcoming n chill. my room was super comfy, had a separate lil area for tea n stuff, which was nice. and the food? ? dinner was outta this world, really tasty. brekkie was spot on too, fast service but not rushed, loved it!

    the only thing is it gets a bit noisy from the pub, but honestly, who cares when the ducks are louder?

    delicious meals
    cozy outdoor patio
    running children

    I had a lovely one-night stay here, enjoying a delicious homemade gin and some great meals that were fresh and flavorful. There’s a cozy outdoor patio and a cool pizza/beer garden area for a chill afternoon. Just a small hiccup with kids running around the dining area while we ate, but overall, it was a great experience! 😊

    comfortable room
    warm ambiance

    great place for exploring charming english villages and parks

    i had a fantastic stay, enjoying the comfortable room with a view over the picturesque village green, and the warm ambiance made it a perfect retreat after a long day of walking through nearby attractions like houghton hall, which is just over 6 kilometers away, and the lovely scenery offers wonderful walking paths right from the inn.

    epic dinner

    Charming, Charming, Charming

    I absolutely loved the cozy feel of my King Room with its welcoming decor and plush comfort. The food was a highlight too—dinner was epic! I savored every bite of that grouse special, and breakfast was just as delightful with quick service. 🤌

    tender duck breast
    friendly staff

    Perfect spot for a cozy family getaway

    The food was great, our evening meal really hit the spot with the duck breast being tender and bursting with flavor. Service was spot on, the staff genuinely cared about making us feel welcome, which doesn't happen everywhere.

    It wasn't exactly low-cost, but you get what you pay for.

    i was so thrilled after our stay. we visited after hearing my mum's stories from her previous stay, and the food was even better than expected—especially that roast dinner! the staff really stood out, making our experience feel warm and personal.
