i enjoyed the central location within the charming village, providing easy access to various attractions. the staff was friendly, always ready to help with a smile. the food in the restaurant tasted great (i particularly recommend the pies!), and the bar had a cute atmosphere. i have already booked again for another event, confirming my satisfaction.

the car park has very limited spaces, requiring some planning to find a spot.

The breakfast met my expectations.

The noise was a major issue. Constant pacing from the room above kept me awake. I found the WiFi signal in the room to be unreliable.

The restaurant situation was frustrating. it closed on sunday night, and i could not get a sit-down meal anywhere since the other pubs were not serving food either. Only a takeaway was open. also? the pub closed early, at 9 pm. i wish i knew this before i booked.
