“This 15th-century inn offers a genuinely characterful stay, nestled in a pleasingly secluded spot with ample parking. The team here consistently impresses with their friendly, helpful approach, and the food, particularly breakfast, is a definite highlight. While some rooms might show their age, the comfort of the beds and the generally good facilities make it a solid choice for a country escape.”
