Real ale discount scheme

Small hotel with several bar areas.

Licensed since 1857, refurbished in 2018, this famous pub consists of three fishermen's cottages converted into a small hotel. The bar is to the right of the entrance, with a snug on the left, leading to the dining room/lounge, which has a real fire. The lounge to the rear has disabled access from Bell's Lane. Guest ales from local Seventy One, Mòr Brewing, and all over Britain. A Belhaven / Greene King managed house offering 10% discount off cask beer for CAMRA members. Don't miss the famed annual beer festival held in July, run by the local lifeboat crew.

UPDATE 2020.

Recent alterations have ripped this pub's interior apart. This pub has therefore been re- categorised as Interior Ruined.

The former description is shown below. The accompanying photographs show the interior before the work took place.

Early 19th-century former house, licensed since 1857, that has evolved from a traditional terraced pub into a small town hotel in recent years. The low-ceilinged public bar on the right is separated from the snug on the left by a low part-glazed partition. The modest back gantry on the right is old but the one on the left is modern and the bar counter has a 1950/1960s ply frontage. The public bar has original tongue-and-grooved panelled walls, a good Bernard's mirror, 1950/1960s fixed seating and a curious small table with wooden sides that was designed for a ship.

At the rear in an extension is a lounge with a bar counter at least 40 years old, a highly decorative back gantry that has come from another pub and a fine fireplace. The small snug on the left has a 1930s tiled fireplace but the bar counter is modern. In a recent expansion to the left there is a new dining room. One of few pubs in Scotland to have always sold real ale, it has appeared in practically every Good Beer Guide.
