“This inn struck me as a genuine slice of old England, amplified by the staff's warmth and the building's palpable history. It's the kind of place where parking is ample, breakfast is tasty, and you can easily imagine settling in for a proper evening at the bar. A comfortable, unstuffy base for exploring the canals and Bromsgrove.”
