Nice country pub
Nice, friendly pub in an interesting area with plenty to do. No real ale, which is a shame and means we probably wouldn't stay again. Also, a lot of single use plastic and not up to speed with sustainability.

Had a lovely stay, staff friendly and welcoming, rooms clean. Only down side advertised as having a pool table which was the reasoning for booking as travelled with my 12 year old son. Thought it would be something we could do in the evening instead of just being in our room. Picture showed a pool table and in description but was not one and had not been for a few years.
