Food, welcome, beautiful building and location.
Dislikes:
Our bedroom wasn't as warm as I'd hoped, but there was snow outside and this won't stop us from visiting again.
Response from The Bull i' th' Thorn:
Thanmks for the review - glad you enjoyed the stay. Sorry about the room heating, but it was minus 4 outside and the old boiler was struggling, - and so was the central heating one hahaha. I like to give all my guests a "proper" fullMonty Breakfast - sets you up for the day and/or the journey home. Look forward to hosting you again. Cheers - Mick - Landlord
