So with that said,it is worth trying the beer but that's it. an all round rating of 3/10 :-(

The rooms (well ours at least and so I assume the others too) are beautifully renovated, clean, airy and comfortable. The wonderful couple running the Inn, Becky and Doug go out of their way to make you welcome, comfortable and happy. We really saw and see them as friends and plan to continue that friendship once we move the the U.K. permanently in a few months. So long as you are up by about 9am Doug will personally cook you breakfast to order. The meals in the evening (5 stars for the fish and chips and the Stilton chicken) are excellent - as was the company during our stay. The other staff were also ultra-friendly and helpful. The inn/pub is the ideal size, lovely location and recommended with 2 thumbs up :)

The Bulls Head is a country pub on the edge of the village of Hartshorne, with good links from the…read moreA511, the main road between Burton and Ashby. The Bulls Head has a fairly small car park, but there is plenty of additional parking in the chapel car park just up the road. Although it is a pub, it's primary focus is food, but it also has accomodation. The decor of the pub is your classic brasses, country pictures and old typewriters that you see in many country pubs. The menu is fairly expansive, with the daily specials and desserts on a board. We plumped for the 'Early Bird Special' - a limited menu at a reduced price before 7pm (£8.95 for two courses, £9.95 for three. We plumped for fish, chips and mushy peas, and lasagne, but there was also dishes like steak and ale pie. The food was good hearty stuff, huge portions too, you would do well to eat three courses at the Bulls Head! Obviously you've got to have a dessert, of which there was quite a wide choice, we chose bread and butter pudding, and waffle and cherries, again monster portions! The Bulls Head serves good honest food at a very reasonable price, you can't ask for much more than that.

Super tasty quality food, I noticed that on the menu it even tells you which farm the meat came from, or where the ice cream was made etc. The Greek Lamb and the Gammon are both brilliant. The portions are huge and I'm always left with enough food for another meal but save room for the Holly Bush sundae because you wont ever have a such a selection of tasty locally made ice cream :) The prices are great too, last time I went it was around 30quid for the 2 of us.

What can I say about the King's Arms? I'm at home here. When we moved to the UK, honestly our most…read moredesired feature was walking distance to a pub. We got stumbling distance to one of the best pubs in the country. This place is well-regarded by everyone in the region. I've met people here who give up walking distance to their local to drive here and have a good time. That says something. My first night here I made friends, and each time I've been here since I find myself in good company either with neighbors we've met before, or people who know we're new to the area and want to welcome us. I can't begin to tell you how often a quick pint before dinner turns into a long session at King's Arms. I wouldn't have it any other way. These guys truly embrace the concept of being the center of village activity. No TVs, no WiFi, these things distract from the community. You come here to interact with your friends and neighbors, enjoy a good beer, and enjoy living in the company of others. They regularly have events to bring the village out. The most impressive of which was the dinner they hosted on the night of the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. They served the exact 10-course menu served in first class that evening, and requested everyone bust out their tuxedos and dresses to mark the occasion in grand fashion. It was a remarkable evening. One disappointment, since I have to list one to feel as though I am being fair, is the wine list. We love the temperanillo, but really none of the others. But we're not here to drink wine, we're here to be social! It makes me a little sad that we don't have this type of drinking culture in the US. If you're not an alcoholic, you're not likely be on a first-name basis with the bartenders at a local watering hole. That's why I love walking in here; everyone knows everyone else, they're always happy to see you, they know what you drink, they pour a tasty pint, and are genuinely good people. I dig it.
