A lovely country pub. We sat inside but there are plenty of seats and outside area for children. Although busy the staff were friendly and helpful. Food was delicious and arrived quickly, hot and on time. The lamb was delicious and the baked cookie dough dessert yummy.

The food and staff were great. We were on a holiday in the area and had our dog with us. We found a comfy corner in the bar area as he’s a big boy. We booked, worth doing. Highly recommend the pub.

Very good provision for dog owners. Lovely setting and characterful building. Good outside area for children and seating generally. Food is the main draw as the gastro pub fare was exceptional.
