Two key things: that view and that Aga; I'm not sure what I'm drooling over most. It does look very cozy and I don't know whether they put up Christmas decorations, but if they did I can imagine it would have felt even more festive than the average house. It does look very calm and tranquil, but I love me the city any day, although a country weekend getaway sounds perfect! xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533644247275257358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042823968101983560.post-60596957113267771252014-01-06T21:51:40.156+00:002014-01-06T21:51:40.156+00:00OMG Steph!

We used to go there almost every weekend, and a friend of mine helped to build the extension where the restaurant is housed!! I LOVE that pub so much! Did you enjoy the food? The brown bread ice cream was always one of its specialities!<br />My house was not too far away from there.
