“My stay found the inn to be a warm, characterful building with truly exceptional staff who made the experience feel genuinely welcoming. The comfortable beds and good value, particularly with the included breakfast, were definite highlights. While the pub's location is excellent for exploring the area, I did note some beds are quite low, which could be a consideration for those with mobility concerns.”
