Gorgeous food, lovely village
Superb restaurant food for dinner in this delightful village compensates for the rather mediocre room in this ancient inn. However the latter is reflected in the very modes room price and staying here is worthwhile for the dining experience alone. The staff are all very pleasant and helpful
