Kirst United Kingdom

Warm and cosy in the room. The bar area had a great vibe - lovely old features and log fires in each area. Great choice of real ales and delicious food at a reasonable price. Loved the detail of locally produced apple juice (complimentary in the room) and the delicious local chutney with the cheese board.
