What guests say
10 / 10 · Exceptional on Booking.com, from 26 guest reviews
Old Iron Inn earns overwhelmingly enthusiastic praise, driven almost entirely by the warmth of hosts Kate and Kevin and Kate's standout homemade breakfasts and muffins. The property's antique iron collection and cosy historic character are consistently highlighted as delightful extras, though a handful of guests note practical limitations such as uncomfortable beds in some rooms, no in-room television or seating, and the noise carry of an old house. Travellers seeking a characterful, host-led experience will likely leave charmed; those prioritising standard hotel amenities may find the trade-offs worth flagging.
