Some may think it’s too quiet but, for most, it’s the opportunity to switch off, relax and enjoy great walking and sightseeing expeditions. The New Inn is a perfect accommodation base to return to at the end of a busy day - and there’s free parking, too.
The inn is steeped in history but the en-suite rooms are clean, comfortable and include all the essentials associated with modern day life.
Breakfast is perfect and substantial. Later dining, either with a bar snack or restaurant meal, is equally impressive, plus of course, the bar stocks all the drinks you could reasonably want. If staying over, don’t miss the Sunday Lunch!
Reception is poor in the rooms. Maybe it was installed when the place was built... centuries ago!
