To be honest we have never visited but it is always busy and brings lots of people to the village. The funny thing is they have three peacocks that leave the Castle most days and like to walk down the middle of the road, stopping traffic. It is very funny to see, but all us locals know you have to slow down and let them parade!

A really nice spot, pleasant drive from home to hear about 15 mins. There is an antique/gift shop, florist, spa and really good cafe. I recommend the eggy crumpets or veggie hash but you cant go wrong, service can be a little slow at times but worth it.
