“The Bay Horse stands as a reliable anchor, particularly for its proximity to the train station, making onward journeys a breeze. Guests find themselves in immaculately kept rooms, a welcome quietude found even above the lively pub below, with beds consistently noted for their comfort. It strikes a balance that feels genuinely good value, offering a sense of being well looked after without pretense.”
