Charming village pub with tasteful, understated period decor throughout. Our room and the whole premises were clean, comfortable and well maintained. Staff were helpful and plenty of local information (books, guides etc.) was provided.The only disappointment was the food; what we ate was of good quality and well prepared but choice was limited, especially at breakfast.
