The Countryman's Welcome
I arrived after 8pm, but had been alerted in advance to the kitchen closing at that time, so had adjusted my meals accordingly. What a great welcome you get in this community-owned pub - you almost feel like a local! All six rooms look spotless and really comfortable. Mine looked out the back and towards fields and a hill. There was a basket full of drinks and sachets - including drinking chocolate, which seems to have vanished from most other hotels. And the en-suite was sparkling. It was great to relax in the bar for an hour that evening. A full, delicious English breakfast was relaxingly served at 9am. Parking was at the back of the hotel, through a narrow stone archway.
I give 5 STARS to this community for their guts and ambition to deliver such a beautiful Inn.
