“The recent refurbishment has truly elevated this village pub, creating a welcoming atmosphere that's as comfortable for a quiet drink as it is for a celebratory meal. Bedrooms, thoughtfully designed and surprisingly quiet, offer a serene retreat above the lively pub downstairs. It's clear the kitchen takes pride in its work, presenting a menu that's both interesting and expertly executed, a sentiment echoed by the attentive and genuinely friendly staff.”
