“There's a timeworn charm to this place, and its social heart beats strong with entertainment like chicken racing and a piano player. While the rooms might show their age, they're clean and come at a price that's hard to argue with. I think it's the kind of spot where the friendly atmosphere and hearty meals make up for any lack of modern polish.”

The steak and kidney pie had perfectly crisp pastry. It was filled with lots of tender, beautifully cooked beef. Highly recommended!
