The room was really lovely, light, plenty of room, with a nice ensuite. We were greeted with a cold drink and the breakfast the next morning was excellent. We would definitely recommend staying here and would stay again. The location is perfect being in between, you can go to either part of the village easily. Parking availability is a bonus.

This is one of the best places I have ever stayed hands down! Everyone was so so friendly and the room was so clean and cozy. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the lady serving was so sweet. I had an early train on the day I checked out, and I was so sad I couldn’t have breakfast that day! I will think about the Rum Doodle every day until I can go back and stay again. The most special place!

Lovely place to find.
I’d rather tell the hotel the bad stuff. Bath was awesome. Shower too. Furniture looked good. Breakfast in our room was outstanding. I’d like mayo with breaky also but i could have asked. So no points deducted. Bed comfy. Four poster bed a nice touch. Most paint and fixtures nice. I would recommend. Xxx lovely owners.
