Such a warm friendly welcome at this great find. Food, service and pub vibe was exceptional. Rooms was spacious and clean and well presented but do need updating, but as I understand it this pub changed hand 6 months ago and I would also prioritise the pub!!. This was a great pet friendly find in a lovely hidden village.

Great value short trip

A short-stay business trip, but what a treasure to find! Friendly, clean, tidy, with a good selection of beers and something on the menu to suit any taste. Everything laid out next day for an early (06:30) breakfast getaway.
