“I think this place offers a proper pub experience: convivial bar, local chatter, and filling meals, including a breakfast with high-quality ingredients. The hosts seem genuinely invested in their guests' experiences, even suggesting local attractions. Its limited number of rooms ensures a quiet stay, especially considering its proximity to the pub, and the secure parking is a definite advantage.”
