The breakfasts were amazing and the staff was very friendly. We sat in the Medieval bar one evening and enjoyed a chat with the young Batman who was a student from Japan. He showed us the “old” interesting but creepy prisons below stairs. A very quirky 14th century Inn with ties to the Highwayman Dick Turpin.
