Drinks & Nightlife
Great place to visit for a relaxed drink and informal dinner. The food is reliably good - hearty pub meals such as burgers, pies and lovely Sunday roasts! We would go here when we couldn't be bothered to cook! They have really good comedy nights here every fortnight on a Thursday, which are worth asking about - fantastic, famous talent visit here to try out their new stand-up material.

Very attractive, traditional pub in a beautiful square of expensive houses. The best bit about this pub is that in good weather you can take your drinks and boules out to the square for a game with the locals. Great atmosphere on a sunny afternoon.

This is still walkable but not really "on the doorstep" - I put it in the Guidebook because I just really like it! Homely pub with colourful art, rustic wooden tables and a walled beer garden. Great food.

Essentials
A small supermarket, but very well-stocked and very close to the house - about 5 mins walk. It may be the only shop you go to, since they have pretty much everything you'd need for a short stay.
