“Historic gastro-pub with rooms in the centre of a quaint country village. The popular restaurant uses the best local ingredients on its menu of British classics. Rooms are compact but cosy; expect underfloor heating, lovely bathrooms & warm homely touches. Traditional property with a current feel.”

This five-bedroom hotel – dating back to 1417 – has character in spades with low-beamed ceilings, roaring open fires next to cosy nooks to hole up and drink in, and modern British classics on the menu.
