"This was the second time that we have stayed in this lovely old pub and our experience was just as good as on our first visit.
The food at both dinner and breakfast was excellent and the service from Matt and his team is as good as you’ll find any pub in the UK.
The village of Plush is charming but very small and rather remote so don’t any night life!"
