“The accommodation itself presents a thoughtfully appointed room, notably comfortable and spacious enough even for a canine companion, with little touches like dog treats adding to the welcoming atmosphere. Downstairs, the pub's dining is a genuine highlight, the food consistently praised for its exceptional quality, making for a truly satisfying stay. It's clear that genuine hospitality, led by Charlotte, underpins the entire experience, making departures feel reluctant.”
