Inspector comments
"Hospitality is a real strength with guests feeling genuinely welcome"
Overview
Built in 1480, The Highway Inn has had many guises over the years and first welcomed overnight travellers in the early 1920s. Following a refurbishment, it now provides guests with modern day comfort, yet retains many of its period features including an original fireplace in the bar area and the beautiful oriel windows. Rooms vary in size and shape, with each individually decorated. A warm welcome is assured. Also onsite is Toro restaurant, Spanish inspired menu, offering sharing plates/tapas.
