Comments
 

Beers: Bateman's XB, Bateman's Dark Mild, Batemans XXXB. All were well kept and cheerfully pulled. Cheers to the cellarmaster! Cousin Tim and I arrived tired form our journey and in need of a few days rest. The folks at the Vine treated us like life long friends they had not seen in a few years. Darts with Jane! Unpretentious decor and a comfortable feeling surrounded every aspect of our stay. Food served until 9pm if my memory serves me correct (the pints were in need of frequent quality sampling). Not an undersized portion to say the least. The time spent at the vine on our real ale hunt was the highlight of our time in the UK. Breakfast was quite yummy too. My return trip will include a stay at The Vine once again. The Staff was tops. Hospitality superb. The world would be a nice place if everywhere was like The Vine. Breakfast 7 to 9-ish. Accommodation was a lovely haunted room. As nice as any Hilton or Embassy Suites I have stayed at, but with old world charm and care. Top score. Best about the Vine: The setting and the pleasant and helpful staff, and the pride in their history of place. Worst: The stables need a sprucing up.
