“The Ivy House strikes me as a proper, old-fashioned English inn, over 250 years old, with a few quirks; I imagine families would appreciate the spacious gardens and baby changing facilities. It's a shame some recent reports suggest they're not quite keeping up with standards, especially regarding cleanliness and service, which could detract from the experience; personally, I think they need to address these issues to truly shine. Still, the community engagement, live music, and open mic nights hint at a vibrant local hub.”
