“My stay at The Crafty Cow revealed a pub with a surprisingly comfortable heart; the beds were notably good, providing a solid night's rest. What truly stood out, however, was the genuinely welcoming staff, who made a considerable difference to the atmosphere, coupled with a truly impressive beer garden.”
