Our room the 4 poster) was very comfortable and full of character note this is a very old traditional coaching Inn so understandable and expected that some things are not 21 st century which was lovely). Excellent Wi-Fi together with tea and coffee making facilities. The Inns bar was clearly popular with friendly locals and again comfortable and with friendly service. Unfortunately we did not get to use the restaurant on our first night Saturday) as we had already made plans and on Sunday night the restaurant is closed. I think we may have missed out because the breakfasts were first class. All in all from the owner down through all of his team the friendliness shone through.

The room was elegantly arranged for us and the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. The food was outstanding, with both meat and vegetarian options for our two courses. Several members of our group also stayed overnight and were very pleased with the accommodations. We are eagerly anticipating our next visit to the Greyhound.

I picked it due to the charming photos of the garden online and it is just as nice in person! The inn has a relaxed atmosphere in the evening in the bar. I got to my room and it was full of character and very cozy all the facilities were clean and tidy and perfect for a short stay if you are travelling through. Breakfast was served in the morning and all the staff in the restaurant were attentive and there was good choice for vegetarians. I checked out and everything was fine until I found myself unable to book a taxi book in advance if you need one in rush hour) and no Ubers were in the area to take me in for my first day. I was panicking and upset but the staff at reception were amazing and helped to calm me down and solve my problem I was completely out of my depth in a new area and everyone at the coaching in went above and beyond to make me feel welcome! I cannot reccomend this place it’s staff and amazing owner enough, It’s great value for money with the breakfast included and always great to support an independent business! Thank you to the staff at the Carlton for making my first day a bit less stressful
