“The Pointer truly captures a home-away-from-home feeling, with rooms like the Longhorn offering a charming comfort and bathrooms, particularly those with freestanding tubs, that are simply stunning. Its village setting is quiet and picturesque, a delightful contrast to the excellent food and attentive service found in the pub/restaurant. Free parking and a keen eye for detail throughout the property solidify its appeal.”
