“The Lower Lode Inn strikes me as a genuine slice of riverside England, where the charm of a traditional pub seamlessly blends with comfortable lodging. I appreciate the reported emphasis on the food and drinks, particularly the impressive cider selection, alongside the promised quietude of its location right on the river, and family-friendly rooms.
