Always a cosy friendly atmosphere in the Windsor. The food is fantastic, don't order a pie unless you are either REALLY hungry or are sharing!

The Pub was absolutely stunning, with an older aesthetic on the inside with welcoming and friendly staff. The breakfast was one of, if not the best breakfasts I've had at a hotel. The room was quaint; however the Bathroom was a touch small and underwhelming but not enough to dampen our visit.

Came in at 4:15 for food, only to be told they don't start serving food till 6pm. I guess its on me, since I should have called ahead, but I would have thought this important info would have been posted on Google or their website. If it was, I didn't see it. Just assumed as it's a pub/Inn they'd be serving all day and evening. Too bad, as their food looked really nice in the photos.
