The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, we were made very welcome, another room was found with less stairs for my elderly aunt I was travelling with, everything we needed, home from home, very comfortable bed, wide range of food served within the inn, delicious I can recommend the seafood bisque!
We will be staying again.

Easy check in, comfortable bed, and room was very clean.
Beautiful location by the river, lovely to sit outside with a drink.
I was surprised how quiet it was on a Friday night. I had a good night's sleep.
Breakfast was average.

Room was too hot and had a distinct wet dog smell and the shower cubicle was too small to get in properly

Really lovely place to stay for a night . Great location . Good breakfast,I’m not so keen on most being fried . The sausages are frozen 8’s. Not my taste. Staff very friendly and efficient. A lovely traditional pub and served us a fabulous Irish coffee.

What a superb location and setting! A delightful place.
On arrival I was shown to my room and informed about meal times.
The service at dinner was great, I was warmly welcomed.
Unfortunately, in the room next to mine, there was a snorer- all night I was unable to sleep properly. This was very unfortunate as I had a physically demanding day ahead.
All in all I would recommend this place and would like to visit again, next time, bring the dogs!

Was a pleasant stay , the room was comfortable but just needed a spruce up a few cobwebs here and there ,the room we had was next to a seating area straight outside window ,so could probably be noisy in the warmer months as people would drink outside more ,also had to keep curtains closed for privacy,the staff were excellent and breakfast nice but only served from 8-30 till 9-45am so if you wanted a early start you might be disappointed,had meal in restaurant was very nice but not a big choice

Pretty location. Pleasant stay in a nice room in the annexe. Good breakfast and decent food in the evening.
The only issue really is access. It's in the middle of nowhere with steep narrow single track roads that are pretty treacherous and stressful in the dark and bad weasther.
