charming inn experience

sunday roast helpful staff scenic drive

i attended a birthday lunch, and it had one of the best sunday roasts. the staff were pretty good too accommodate us. the beautiful garden featured a children's play area and lots of space to move. the setting in the middle of the forest made it a scenic drive.

the chicken served at sunday dinner was very poor. i received only one leg and upon complaining, was given two legs. i had eaten here several times, but this experience was bad.

balanced stay experience

warm welcome well presented engaging staff small room thin board wardrobe door

the staff provided a super warm welcome. the room was very well presented and as described. zoe was very engaging and funny upon my arrival! charlotte was at all times cute, polite and professional, i appreciated that.

i needed a ground floor room due to a mobility issue and was shown a room in an attached block. sadly, it was the smallest room i have occupied. the connecting walls were of thin board and one of the wardrobe doors failed to open! breakfast offered a good choice of hot and cold food, but it was efficiently served.
