Delightfully unspoilt country local, close to Alum Bay and scenic National Trust downs.  The name is taken from the pre-Victorian name for nearby Tennyson Down, renamed after Alfred Lord Tennyson, Queen Victoria's poet Laureate who lived at nearby Farringford House.  This hospitable pub is an ideal base for walkers, strollers or cyclists alike.  A wide range of local seasonal fresh food including game, fish and seafood is served in good sized portions and there is a children's menu.  Bed and breakfast accommodation with 3 comfortable rooms, two of which are double en-suite and the third a twin with en-suit bath/ shower. A campsite is a few hundred yards away. A new innovation is the large enclosed area in the garden suitable for winter and summer. It may close earlier in the winter.
