“In my opinion, this 17th-century country pub distinguishes itself with a focus on locally sourced, seasonal cuisine. The inglenook fire promises winter coziness, while dog-friendly accommodations cater to a broad range of guests. I noted the potential for improvement in housekeeping standards in some rooms.”
