“The adjacent pub makes for a truly integrated stay, not just for its excellent, value-driven meals and breakfast, but also for its genuinely welcoming atmosphere, which extends to pets and locals alike. The converted stables themselves are smartly equipped with thoughtful amenities, striking a good balance between comfort and practicality for a restful visit. It's clear this spot is conceived with the guest, and their four-legged companions, firmly in mind.”
