Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
'A quintessential English inn that oozes history with centuries-old charms', this picture-perfect black and white timbered medieval inn overlooking the village green got the thumbs up from our inspectors. They received a ‘warm and welcoming reception’ followed by ‘an enthusiastic tour’ on the way to a room in the oldest part of the building. Three rooms there, and a suite, have an antique four-poster and oak furniture, but, like the contemporary doubles and one single, have modern bathroom fittings, fresh milk, Noble Isle toiletries. ‘The King’s Suite comprised a series of chambers connected by a private corridor, with an outstanding sitting room with original fireplace.’ Downstairs, ‘a warren of public rooms and spaces were all inviting' with 'antique furniture and fittings adding to the atmosphere'. You can eat in the oak-panelled dining room or in the characterful courtyard. 'The grilled yogurt marinated chicken was perfectly cooked with a sweet and spicy flavour.' It was followed by Eton mess, 'the perfect end to an excellent meal'. Staff are ‘friendly and attentive’ and ‘take pride in their work. We would absolutely stay again.’
