We stayed for a couple of days and were made to feel very welcome by friendly hosts. The accomodation is clean and comfortable. It's also a great pub with a nice atmosphere. We enjoyed a Sunday roast and some well kept local ale. There was live music later in the afternoon. Highly recommended.

The owners always make everyone feel so welcome. A homely, personal pub with a country feel. A small, home cooked menu, bought to the table by Mark, the chef and landlord. Arleta, his wife, serves drinks with a huge smile and time for a chat. You leave this pub with a full tummy and a warm heart..
