Please note: This former Good Beer Guide Pub now only opens on Friday afternoon and evenings (but may be subject to change). Its future is uncertain as the current owners are now seeking a buyer and the opening hours have been drastically cut back as a result. The bar area has flagstone flooring and a large inglenook with seats inside. A small passage leads to two further cosy rooms. It is now uncertain what beer(s) are sold, given the limited opening hours. The original pub bar remains relatively unchanged over the years. The flagstone floor and inviting inglenook fireplace bring character and a cosy and friendly atmosphere. The ‘snug’ to the rear of the bar, is a comfy casual room, with double doors that lead to an outdoor courtyard. We sincerely hope the fortunes of this delightful establishment will improve.

A listed old local sandstone building which is little altered in 40 years when the bar counter was replaced (the carved bar back was added in 1988) and the toilet block added to the rear of the building. The bar was actually two rooms in the past with a partition creating a snug around the inglenook fireplace with a door in the right hand side of the partition but all this was removed, possibly in the early 50s. The fireplace and the flagstone floor are ancient and the fixed seating (wall bench and window) very old. There are two other small rooms, one with an inglenook fireplace but few other old fittings. Since the above, The Layout of three small rooms remains but a brand new oak bar and bar back have been installed by the new owners. The tiled fireplace in the second room remains and along with the inglenook fireplace and odd bits of fixed seating in the public bar are the only remaining old fittings. There are massive plans to bring the stables at the rear into use for toilets, new kitchen and even a farm shop.
