Starting with the welcoming communications before we arrived right through to leaving, this was a very enjoyable experience. |Sarah and Paul are very friendly and attentive hosts. We arrived early and had a drink in the very well appointed bar before we were shown our room. |The room was well appointed with a floor standing fan (weather was very warm), a coffee pod machine, cube for charging gadgets and a selection of toiletries. The bed was super comfortable and we had a very good nights sleep. |Shower was excellent with plenty of hot water and the room, as did the rest of the premises, was in immaculate condition. |Breakfast was preordered the night before, and was very good with plenty of choice. We both opted for the full English and a special mention for the bacon and sausage which I thought was excellent although my wife felt the bacon was a bit salty. That says more about our taste! |My wife elected to have tea and, unlike so many places, was a good, strong brew. |While we didn’t use the restaurant in the evening, it was clearly popular and friends in the area who have visited said it was very good. |The Inn is on a busy road junction but there was nothing that disturbed our sleep and there was plenty of off road parking. |Would we stay at the Five Dials Inn again? Absolutely....
