We stayed at the pub for a wedding that was being held locally. Having eaten there once before and being impressed, we booked for the weekend. Well they have only got better! Running an award winning inn in Vermont USA we have high standards and Emma who is front of house knows her onions, and Dotty her wonderful hairy companion was the cherry on top of the cake!
The 2 rooms offered as accommodation are simple but very comfortable, but the bed we found to be very springy...which was not uncomfortable but unusual for us, as we are used to a firmer mattress. However we slept well, and also heard little noise from the busy pub downstairs. The bathroom had a great soaking tub as we were upgraded to the larger of the two rooms.
To sum up: The breakfast was freshly cooked with a cracking local sausage and bacon on offer, but also on offer was a simple selection of fresh fruits, yoghurt and homemade bread, so we started each day well.
I had dinner there one night with the bride and some family and we all enjoyed the dinner. In particular the homemade scotch egg and sardine appertisers were fantastic. Every dish was prepared with passion and William is a chef with creative and consistent culinary style at the top of his daily routine. The pub also serves delicious pints of ale...which I had to partake of!
As we were there over a weekend the wood fired pizza oven was burning and my they make a bloody great pizza!
So if you want a great meal, and want to consume a few drinks, book a room and stay over....you will not be disappointed! read more
