The Darlo Village Hotel

The verdict

Previously known as the East Village, The Darlo Village Hotel has undergone an extensive makeover, bringing it up to date whilst retaining its unique heritage in the community. It's still very much a classic pub with beer on tap and both indoor and outdoor seating, but there's also now a chic bistro menu (think New York-style steak, and baked ravioli stuffed with goats cheese, pumpkin and spinach) to keep all palates happy.
