Yet another brilliant visit. Booked quite late, but they had availability. The new autumn ale was absolutely fantastic. We were served again by Christina, a great member of staff, cheeky but pleasant. The food offerings well what can I say, it was better than a 3 rosette hotel we stayed in Leamington Spa. We will be back.
