Excellent accueil dans un pub familiale. L'endroit nous a été indiqué par une personne du village et nous n'avons pas été déçus. Les plats sont raffinés et l'accueil fort sympathique. Comparé au reste de notre séjour (l'Angleterre est chère) les prix nous ont paris très abordables. Je recommande vivement.
