On the whole enjoyed our short stay.

Great

Pros: This is a very famous pub, at which I had had a drink 60 years ago. I have always wanted to stay there. We could only stay one night but it lived up to what I wanted. It is a proper pub in the best sense. Magnificent location, happy staff, good food, excellent room, everything a pub should be. I am thrilled to have stayed there.
