The pub (Blackwel ox) served some of the best Thai food I've had in the UK. I would suggest trying the salt and pepper chicken wings, lol. I would highly recommend staying 3+ nights! Will definitely be going back again. If there is one thing I could suggest to make the cabins perfect. Is if (you) they had a canopy over the top of the hot tub.. as the British, whether it is well temperamental, to say the least. Thank you, Blackwell ox.. Be seeing you soon!

However seating rather low for elderly people. The walk in shower needs a grab rail for safety this applies to people of all ages and abilities as anyone can slip. The owner did provide a non slip bath matt when I discussed this which was appreciated but again this needs to be standard equipment. The front door lock was a nightmare to use very difficult to lock it requiring some force and speed to operate it some one who had arthritis or weakness in their wrists would really struggle.
