“The restoration of this Inn is beautifully done, retaining character while feeling fresh and very cosy, especially with the log burner. Its location next to classic walks is superb, and the convenience of the bus stop right outside is a genuine advantage for exploring without a car. I found the staff to be genuinely welcoming and their culinary offerings, from dinner to breakfast, were consistently excellent.”
