The Observer – Sunday 10th August 2008
You can’t get any mobile reception here, making it the ideal hideaway. With massive four-poster beds, giant shower heads and roll-top baths, the rooms are reason enough to come to this lovers’ paradise but the beer is pretty darn good too. Choose local cask ale or fine wine – or even between two strengths of ginger beer. The food is also excellent. Don't miss Madonna’s favourite, Timothy Taylor’s Landlord, with its creamy body and light lemon-and-biscuit balance.
