“The Horton Inn presents a welcoming facade with its amicable staff and a generous car park, making arrivals uncomplicated. Inside, the inn buzzes with a country pub atmosphere, offering hearty meals; though the rooms, while clean, lean towards the functional, occasionally feeling a touch dated for their price point.”
