“The kitchen clearly takes pride in its work; a sirloin steak arrived cooked precisely as ordered, a testament to skill, and the pizzas, particularly on their dedicated night, were a definite highlight, demonstrating excellent value and fresh preparation. Management is notably welcoming, and rooms, while economical, meet expectations, with one 16th-century option presenting a charming stay. This establishment also excels in its beverage selection, offering top-tier cask ale in commendable condition, and its garden is a pleasant, dog-friendly space.”
