In a lovely little village, just went into the pub part, but strangely no comfy seats, just metal chairs with plank seats. Never seen this other than in fast food restaurants where they don't want customers to stay to long. In a pub? Doesn't encourage customers to stay for more than one drink.

Fabulous views from the large dining area, shame the food wasn't as fabulous. Duck was under cooked, asparagus over cooked.

Only dropped in for "a quick one" after visiting the village store. Found one of the best views to accompany a pint I've seen in a long while. Will be back before returning home.
