“What struck me was the care evident in the thoughtfully designed rooms, some even catering specifically to accessibility, all within a pub that hums with genuine character. Mornings here are a delight, with a substantial, included breakfast and locally brewed beers to savour in the historic bar downstairs. The staff's warmth and readiness to assist truly make a stay here feel remarkably welcoming and grounded.”
