We ate dinner here while walking the Cleveland Way. Best meal we had on our trip! Food was excellent, atmosphere was comfortable, and service was friendly and efficient. Clearly popular with locals and it’s easy to see why. We highly recommend!
Didn’t stay so haven’t rated the rooms, but ate and drank there most days. Service was excellent really hard working polite staff and the food was fantastic. Would definitely recommend a visit.
We didn’t stay here but ate here twice. First we had a Sunday roast which was lovely! Then we came back midweek and had another meal equally as lovely. The staff were friendly and helpful, great service. Dog friendly which is great as we had 3 big dogs with us! Would definitely come back here if in the area again.
