In an area where there are countless little country hotels, this is a real gem of a find. The staff are incredibly kind, warm and welcoming; food is served all day and is absolutely delicious; the bedrooms are incredibly comfortable and well thought through; and the breakfast buffet is simply delightful!

This property was so beautiful. Wonderful amenities to include fresh milk delivered to your room for your morning Nespresso coffee. The ambiance and decor was wonderful. I wish we had stayed more nights to enjoy both the hotel and the area. Definitely 5 Stars

Our stay was lovely. Couldn’t fault the service the only downside was the bed and pillows were not comfortable and the rooms are hot, so could each do with a fan in at least rather than having to get one from the pantry

Lovely location and cosy place
Really lovely stay at such a beautiful b&b: beautiful rooms and amazing views. Perfect for a weekend to just stay in and do nothing! Breakfast was really nice and the pub attached has really good food too. Staff were lovely too, overall a really nice stay.

This hotel is gorgeous for a peaceful getaway. I stayed for my birthday and in the room was a card and some complimentary chocolates. Also complimentary sloe gin! The room is cosy and with everything you’d need. I was most impressed by the food here! I couldn’t believe the breakfast was included, you get a cooked meal from the menu as well as fruit and pastries from the buffet. I’d encourage everyone staying to book dinner at The Crown! The food was incredible and the staff very accommodating.
