Picture postcard idyllic thatched and oak beamed riverside 17th century pub. Reputedly England's oldest inn (but many others also claim that title). This was an unspoilt and unaltered pub until a disastrous fire some years ago. Now much of what you see, quaint as it is, is modern reconstruction. Large garden which extends down to the river.
