Really enjoyed our stay for three nights at the Blacksmiths. Warm welcome, great food and a very clean room. Traffic is a bit busy and noisy at times but not something you can do much about. Would happily stay again in this historic local pub set in stunning scenery.

We stayed here on a Friday and Saturday night in order to visit Brighton but we didn’t wish to stay in Brighton. Jaz our host was so friendly, he also cooks which has to be the best Jamaican food I’ve ever tasted. Our room was spotless with an enormous bathroom and a marvellously powerful shower. Breakfast was a full English cooked to order absolutely perfect. I have no problem in recommending this as a great place to stay
