The Sunday roast was the best! The lamb shank fell off the bone. The cauliflower cheese was gorgeous.

The parking was conveniently located right outside the cottage. I also noticed a fantastic atmosphere inside the pub with games for both adults and children available.

They placed a £250 hold on my card. This was unexpected.
