"Beautiful interior and decor. Homely and cosy log fires in winter and well kept pub garden for Spring/Summer."
Cons:
"They ruined the feel of the place too, it was much nicer before the refurb."
"However, the pub has lost nearly all of the old building's character on the inside."
"The refurbishments are really lovely but they cannot accommodate the customers on a Tuesday evening at 7.30. We were turned away even though there were lots of tables available."
"Also very sad to see that the doves (who lived in a dovecote in the car park) have been booted out and the dovecote removed."
