10/10 Excellent
"A hidden treasure in the middle of a charming village. Check in was fuss-free and friendly, the room was gorgeous and the pub itself was fabulous. Traditional flagstone floor, wonderful outdoor seating area and to top it all, the food was of a high standard and freshly cooked. Would highly recommend."
