“The inn's historical ambiance, especially the crooked walls and low beams, struck me as particularly appealing; it's one of the oldest inns in England, after all, with a story to tell. I appreciate the landscaped garden and the fact that they can host wedding events, as well as cater to families looking for a break in a charming market town; however, be aware of the different opinions regarding the staff. It's a place with character and potential.”
