“I found the atmosphere genuinely welcoming, partly thanks to the resident collie, Winston, who seems to hold court in the old-fashioned bar. Breakfast stood out, featuring good-quality ingredients that gave a strong start to the day. It's the kind of place where the staff seem happy to help, adding to the charm of a stay right on the town square.”
