With top hats as lampshades and tubas in the loos, quirky is this 16th-century coaching inn’s middle name. Its charm and character is only enhanced by its location within a picture-postcard village that makes you feel like you've stepped back in time. The pub itself offers hearty dishes with a refined edge; look out for the 'All the Chicken' main course to share. The wine list features bottles from some lesser-known countries, while rustic bedrooms and luxurious lodges share the pub’s idiosyncratic charm.
