A country inn as it should be.

Pros: Wonderful stay in a friendly, hospitable country pub. Spacious, well-appointed rooms, cosy bar and friendly staff. Good food, good beer and just what a country pub stay should be.

Cons: Little to improve - just what a stay in a country pub should be like. Traffic noise in the morning (we had our window open), but mostly tractors and it got us up at a reasonable time for breakfast!
