“From what I gather, you can expect a genuinely welcoming atmosphere here, with ales on tap and the possibility of exceptionally clean, recently updated rooms; the church nearby adds a touch of unique character to the setting, especially with the sounds of birds. I think the combination of attentive service and satisfying meals-especially the breakfasts-makes this a very solid choice. This place seems to prioritise creating a relaxed and comfortable experience.”
