“Rawdons Hotel & Brewery offers a genuine step back in time; the setting amidst rolling hills is peaceful. I especially like that they maintain an independent brewery, and the lakeside dining adds another layer of charm. It's a solid choice for those seeking a blend of historic character and relaxed comfort.”
