Asset of Community Value

Ancient inn which has evolved gradually over time but still preserves its historic room divisions and some high quality internal fittings of various dates. Four rooms. Tudor-style features in the main bar-lounge suggest inter-war refurbishment work by former owners Dutton’s, but the fireplace and behind-bar arch are of greater antiquity while the counter and settles are clearly modern. The other rooms include a second lounge, with settles, and a tap room with a simple fireplace and good fitted seating in deal.
