“The New Inn presents a genuinely authentic pub experience, with rooms that are notably comfortable, particularly the beds which many guests found exceptionally so. It's a characterful establishment, well-suited for a cozier stay, and the food receives consistent praise, including excellent gluten-free provisions. The staff contribute significantly to the welcoming atmosphere, and for those travelling by bike, secure storage is a thoughtful touch.”
