Duke of Wellington

It was perfect for us - easy to get to and a great stop off on our way south. I know they are planning to upgrade all the rooms but ours was clean and cosy and just what was needed for a quick overnight. Althought to be fair we could have stayed alot longer as the pub was just as we would want an old English pub to be - traditional and modern. Oak furniture, fireplace,wee nooks, centuries of history and many chiming clocks...as well as all the things a good modern pub should have. We missed pub food as we were late checking in( rang ahead but late arrival was no prob ..not least cos the rooms are in several outside stone building conversions), but breakfast was great - landlord and bar staff friendly and up for a chat. The guinness was great and Inches on draught ! We had a really really lovely brief stay - unexpectedly so and so good that we will def go back. The menu looked great also. The photos dont do the place justice, but dont tell, as then everyone will want to stay there ; )

Nice pub, everything you need in the room, great food and breakfast, good beer selection. Quiet.

We had a lovely stay. Room basic but clean tidy and had everything we needed. Very quiet. The pub food was excellent. The staff very friendly and helpful.
