“In my opinion, this is a properly run village pub with rooms that goes beyond the basics; it's exceptionally welcoming. I was particularly struck by the staff's commitment and the surprisingly high quality of the food, especially the tapas. The garden and easy access to the M1 are definite advantages, for me.”
