This Inn is a little gem hidden away in the countryside. It is so authentic it seems frozen in time, except for the rooms that have a more modern country chic ambiance. The food was great and the staff absolutely fantastic. I wish we had booked a few more nights!

Check in for the inn is at the bar. It took us a while to realise this. Also because check-in is at the bar… you must arrive before pub close… around 9pm. Being a historic preserved site there is limited modern amenities they are allowed to perform…. however this is part of the charm as it authentically get like an old English travelers inn. there is WiFi at least. the staff and service at the pub was excellent. the food was also good. we had the Sunday roast. Full breakfast and other options is included and had good conversations with other guests.
