Good stay in the countryside
cute atmosphere burning fire excellent beer easy parking
I often visit this reopened pub. It is a pleasant spot with a cute atmosphere. The fire is usually burning, that is a real treat. The beer is well-kept. It tastes excellent. I found easy parking. The location is excellent, offering amazing views of the surrounding area. I was thankful for the warm welcome to a traditional pub.
I noticed a light fitting was slightly loose on the wall, and I hope it gets fixed soon.

Cozy Stay with Great Food
spacious room tasty food
The room was spacious with a double bed and a double pull out sofa. We booked breakfast and dinner, finding the food tasty and reasonably priced. The car park opposite the pub made parking simple.
The room is an old building so there is character, but it can be expected that the hotel has some issues.
Service

Staff at the pub were very chatty and friendly. They were available and eager to assist with any requests. The team ensured a cute environment for both dining and accommodation needs throughout my stay.
