“This place has a warmth about it, from the friendly staff to the real fires crackling in the bar. I found the comfort of the beds, coupled with the quality of the home-cooked food, particularly striking. Its position is excellent for exploring the local landscape, and the chance to see badgers from the property itself feels like a real privilege.”
