Idyllic Stay at a Charming Inn

I appreciated the separate building for the rooms. It offered a quiet retreat away from the pub. The room was well-presented, offering the usual amenities such as coffee, tea, and extra towels. The real ales served in the pub were very acceptable.

The sample bottles of shampoo and body wash were quite small for a longer stay.

The inn features traditional pub fare and excellent Indian dishes cooked fresh on specific days. The menu offers good value. A dartboard adds a touch of local charm to the pub setting.
