The Blackboys Inn is a very nice property and well managed. All the staff were knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful. The room was interesting: a living area on the ground floor and a mezzanine bedroom. The food was good, if a little overpriced (some dishes more expensive than London pubs!). My only poor experience was tough lamb rump.
