Enjoyable 1 night stay

Great one night stay after attending a wedding in the area. Well appointed room, in adjoining stable block, with bottled water, comfy bed and great shower. Lovely breakfast. We were also given a courtesy call on the day to check we were still coming as we were at the wedding. Highly recommend.

Very comfy bed. Superb shower, luxury towels. The food in restaurant was excellent. Starter Fish platter to share a great choice and chicken Kiev very tasty. Can see why it is a popular place to eat. Staff friendly and helpful. Good well cooked produce at breakfast. Soberton is a lovey quiet village worth a walk around to see church and the views.

Cant fault it in any way - spectacular place

Always lovely to stay here, the most amazingly friendly country pub, with wonderful food. Stay for business few times a year cant fault it. they even go the extra mile by coming in early so we can have breakfast earlier than normal due to 8am meetings. Stay wonderful, and definitely give this place a try (even if its just for food and the ambiance).
