Comfortable pub in centre of pretty village, handy for Hamsterley Forest. Popular with locals and holidaymakers alike, the Keys hosts regular community events and is very much part of village life. The bar across the front of the building has a huge fire, and joins the dining area. Separate dog-friendly snug at the rear, and restaurant to the side. Emphasis is on local produce in the cooking.
