Arrived for an overnight stay as we were attending a significant birthday party at the neighbouring village hall. Greeted by name, and shown to our room, a well-appointed and extremely comfortable ensuite room, and briefed on practical details, TV, thermostat, breakfast times etc. On mentioning that we were not dining but attending an event, unprompted we were offered a lift from one of the staff to the (local) venue. If we had properly read the comprehensive information folder, we would have found the details re taxis on having a pre-event drink we enquired about taxi services (for the return trip) we were again offered a lift to the venue and indeed a pickup should we so desire. We took up the offer of the lift to the venue, and had a great evening, returning before closing we were welcomed back and were chided for not calling for a pickup (the walk back of just over half a mile was just enough to clear the head) a night cap was taken, and we retired to bed. After a most comfortable night's sleep the bathroom facilities were put to good use, copious hot water, a shower with a great flowrate, towels of high quality and once cleansed and dressed off to breakfast. An excellent breakfast, high quality ingredients and freshly cooked and again great service. Our only regret, not dining, a regret that a return visit sometime soon will put right. Overall, a pub/restaurant with a most welcoming ambience, friendly and attentive staff, and exceptional quality throughout. On top of which the Real Ales were excellent and to be recommended.
