Given a refund but not offered any other option and we still had to pay for the drinks we bought to eat with the meal. Perhaps the Brewery should... More

Friendly, personal service in a group inn. How refreshing. Decent, clean and spacious rooms and very good value. Pet-friendly with a welcome doggy treat too! We will certainly use the Horton Inn again.

Rooms were just OK as was food (not home made). Somw wallpaper falling off walls and paint could do with a touch up. We had to stay for 4 nights - it was a long 4 nights!!!! Freindly staff. It cost £60 a night which i consider to be too much for what it was.

This large pub gave us a comfortable night in a large clean room with ensuite bathroom and included a decent cooked breakfast all at a very reasonable price. There were one or two niggles - the shower control needed coaxing and the lighting in the room was a bit dim and took a couple of minutes to sort out, but... More
