Very comfortable and quiet. Perfect for our bikepacking trip as there was room for our bikes in the room, a double bed each and the bar served delicious food! Lovely spot near a canal with very friendly staff!
Nothing, all good!

Very Good place for peace and quiet, easy to get to either by car or along the side of the canal on foot. Very comfortable beds.
Luckily I had instructions via a message what room to go to, and how to get the key. I was worried when I saw all the lights off at the pub and wasn't sure where to go.

Beds were comfortable and there were tea making facilities
Checking in and checking out system and the fact there were creepy crawlies all around the rooms . And. The fact. On Wednesday we were told if the family room was available we could have it but when we got there we were told no they gave it out that day

Pleasant country inn. Very good food. Great service with very friendly, helpful staff.
The room was small, but adequate and clean enough. However, it did have a very musty, damp smell which was most unpleasant.
Sort out the damp, musty smell.

3.0 / 5.0
it’s location and pub also the parking facility right outside the room
lovely pub meal and very friendly staff
small and very basic, no hairdryer and no way of contacting owners out of hours ( only emergency number and i didn’t think lack of hair dryer was an emergency)
also charge £25 for one dog which I thought expensive although apparently it’s a fixed fee so still £25 no matter how many dogs

there was no breakfast, and that was fine for us, still good value. Food on the Saturday night was excellent, we all agreed. Rooms were comfortable and clean, can't really fault it, the new owners are trying really hard, and smashing it it my opinion!
One of the rooms was a bit tired and dated, but I'm sure they will get to it
5.0 / 5.0
Overall the property was welcoming comfortable and ideal for us. It is pet friendly and has easy access with car parked outside room. The staff were very friendly and looked after us. We had dinner in the Inn and the food was delicious . The rate was very reasonable for the service provided.
We were surprised that on arrival the additional fee for having a pet was £25. It is not advertised as this and having stayed in many hotels throughout Europe on driving to Scotland , found the average charge to be between £5 and £12.
The owner did reduce it to £15 but even this is excessive for a small animal that slept in her own bed and caused no additional cleaning. We are hoteliers and know that children can be more problematic than animals in terms of cleanliness. Overall this is not a complaint as such, because the room rate was more than reasonable...just something the owner should consider. We would not hesitate to stay again !
