“FABULOUS, THIS ICONIC PUB LIVES UP TO ITS REPUTATION WELL WORTH A VISIT”
THIS IS AN ICONIC PLACE AND VERY POPULAR. I LOVED THAT WE COULD BOOK ACCOMMODATION HERE. THE BEER GARDEN WITH HUGE OPEN FIRE WAS FABULOUS ON A COLD NIGHT. THE OPEN FIRE AND LOUGES INSIDE WERE GREAT TO MOVE TO ONCE THE SUN WENT DOWN. THE MEAL WAS GOOD AND THE ROOMS CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE. FREINDLY AND HELPFUL STAFF.

“Perfect”
Wow, what a find. Loved everything about this historical place. Small room but the cleanliness, cosiness and atmosphere more than made up for this. Very friendly staff. Had a delicious pub meal in the beer garden on a beautiful autumn evening. Great value for money. Highly recommended.
