“The heart of the village beats strongly here, with an atmosphere that draws you in, complemented by food that champions local produce and thoughtfully prepared dishes, notably a remarkably fine beef roast. While settling in can sometimes be a puzzle, the warmth of the staff and the comfort of the rooms, particularly the welcoming nooks by the fire, create a genuinely restorative stay. It's a place where you can easily find yourself lingering, perhaps after a brisk walk to the nearby shore, appreciating the character of an old inn that still feels very much alive.”
