Lovely clean room, nice and warm. The pub was VERY busy on the Saturday night we stayed, we booked a table and can’t fault the food and service, very pleased. Breakfast was very nice also. It’s our second stay here, first time bringing out dog, excellent stay

The room was very clean with a mix of modern and traditional facilities. Nicely renovated bathroom. The staff in the pub were very friendly and the food was excellent. A great choice of local beers and the food was delicious. Love the large beer garden.

The compasses inn is a hidden gem. It is far from any main roads and has been voted one of the best pubs for many years. Dining is uncoventional in that you have to choos from many options from a blackboard (rather quaint). The staff are extremely freindly
