The Brookmill
Accidental discovery, super pleased I am going back next week as well. Great service, clean room (well stocked coffee etc.), comfortable bed and great local beer/food in the main bar. Steep stairs, but that is a minor negative amongst a sea of positives. Keep up the great work!

Lovely pub, and area, a bit noisy at night due to single glazing and coming from living in the country
