    Excellent staff nothing to much trouble, nice not to be in in a modern plastic pub, loved the low ceilings and creaky floors. Understand it is changing hands hope they do not change anything.

    Good staff, beer choice, location and food, rooms were spacious, beds comfy, although a decent shower for me is a minimum and the electric shower in the room was a bit disappointing. Notwithstanding, this does not discredit the overall good time we had here and the owners and staff should be pleased with what they provide.

    Beautiful and historical stay

    We enjoyed a lovely night at this historic inn with charming decor and a spacious room equipped with a comfy four-poster bed, along with attentive staff who provided a warm welcome. The breakfast was freshly cooked and delicious, setting us up nicely for the day. One thing to improve would be the payment process, as using the app for orders can be cumbersome and takes time.

    generous portions
    live music
    worn surroundings

    I loved the amazing Indian thali, which had generous portions and was bursting with flavor. The melt-in-your-mouth paratha. The vibe was great with live music, and the kids had a blast in the play area. The only hitch was that the place felt a bit worn around the edges, but it didn't take away from the overall experience-definitely try the food! 😋
