A delightful pub in remote, unspoilt countryside. The original small bar has been relocated and expanded in 2024. It's complemented by picturesque gardens. The location makes this a convenient stop-off for walkers and cyclists, especially at weekends.

Reopening 5 June 2024 under new management.

In its new format there will be a subtle Basque feel but its roots will be firmly founded on those of a classic English pub. As well as restaurant meals inspired by the Basque country it will also offer simple pub snacks for a light lunch. The cask ale range may differ from the previous Indigenous Brewery range.

The original pub room is reputed to be the one with the bare wood floor at the rear right, which was in use until 2007 but is now used as an office and for storage by the current food-oriented owners. They removed the wall that created a tiny tap room as you enter and the present public bar on the right. Tap room area has a red and black quarry-tiled floor, old counter and dado panelling. The public bar area has a counter possibly 30 or so years old, dado panelling of similar age, brick fireplace of similar age, some old low basic benches. The lounge on the left is now the dining room still with a small bar counter -which may be from the 1920s but the room has been massively extended to the rear by amalgamating with former private quarters. Retains its outside gents, but completely modernised.
