“What I find particularly appealing is the warm welcome after a wet day, matched by real ales and a Sunday roast; it suggests a haven. I also noted the fresh breakfast and log fires, along with comfy beds; this inn seems to prioritize comfort and a personal touch. It's a great base for exploring the area.”
