My dad and I really enjoyed our stay at The Boot and Shoe! Our room was clean and cozy, the beds were comfortable, and it was great for our stay. My dad loved having the bar downstairs where he could talk to everyone and make friends. The kitchen wasn’t open for dinner while we were there but the full English breakfast the next morning was delicious! The new manager and his son did a great job and made our stay even better. Would definitely recommend staying here!

A great stay with lots to see and do.

From walking into the pub we were welcomed like we were known to the staff. Everyone said hello. We had a lovely walk around the town. It is super popular whatever time of day you call in. The locals are always popping in. The evenings are popular with people wanting to dine.
