Overnight business trip
Very comfortable room and peaceful atmosphere. Excellent range of well conditioned local ale in the bar. Lovely food and friendly staff.
Will definitely stay again and pop in for food and drinks when passing the area.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Shoulder of Mutton. The owners couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. We had breakfast every day - fabulous! The room was very clean, albeit quite small. If you have mobility issues, the stairs may be a problem. Otherwise a beautiful, characterful place.

Lovely family friendly B and B
Lyndsey and Mark were brilliant for our stay, so friendly and gave tips on things to do in the area . We also had a dog with us and they were very accommodating. Lovely B and B, close to amenities but far enough away for some peace and quiet. Food is also lovely, we had breakfast and tea.

We received a very warm welcome and staff were friendly and attentive throughout our stay.
Food was plentiful and a good variety. We were given were given a hearty breakfast. Bed was comfortable and location was quiet.
The decoration was a bit tired and there was a need for some further plug points in the room so that you could use a hairdryer whilst standing by a mirror. The basin hot tap was loose as was the toilet seat.We did think that the room price was a bit high considering these points. All in all it was the owners that made it a pleasant stay.

Size of room and shower/toilet area unbelievably small - hardly enough room around bed to place case and not sufficient space in bathroom to dry oneself properly.
Better if breakfast could have been available a little earlier than 9 am. However, breakfast was very nice.
Heaters turned on/off automatically - unfortunately they were off when we returned from evening meal and still off when we went down for breakfast at 9 am.
Overall value for money was not the best given room size.
On a positive note the evening meal was lovely, though this does not affect our rating for accommodation. Landlord was also very friendly.
