⭐ Reviews
Overall customer rating: 4/5
★★★★☆
The Quiet Woman is praised for its authentic, unspoiled country pub atmosphere and friendly landlord, offering a rare experience of a traditional English pub. It is cherished for great beer, a cosy fire, and a welcoming chat among patrons. The legendary pork pies are a highlight for many visitors. Currently, the pub is closed long term, so customer experiences are historic rather than current.
