“I think that this pub with rooms has countryside charm, offering modern, stylish bedrooms with sheep-themed decor. Ground-floor rooms lead directly to the beer garden, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The steak on volcanic rock gets a big thumbs up, and the hamlet location ensures peace and quiet.”
