Charming old pub in a very pretty village.
Pros:

A lovely old pub with rooms. Room was a little tired but perfectly clean with a comfy bed, fluffy towels and a decent shower. Breakfast was cooked to order and was delicious.

Cons:

No hanging space apart from a couple of hooks in the wall, and only one metal hanger provided, until I requested more.

Pros:

Fußläufig zum Montacute Haus, deswegen gebucht. Wir hatten das Familienzimmer mit einem schönen Blick auf Kirche und Pfarrhaus. Einrichtung und Bad etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber für den Preis ok.

Cons:

Das Frühstück war nicht mein Ding, dann schon eher die Käseplatte im Pub.
