A corridor leads to a characterful intimate (and child-free!) public bar with a restored inglenook fireplace with log-burning stove and an old disused stairwell upon which various items like earthenware jugs are displayed. A high back settle runs alongside one wall while horse brasses are fixed to an old thick wooden beam over the fireplace. Further on, the corridor leads to a cosy split level lounge with another log stove. Dotted about the walls are various pictures of the general locality. The lounge gives access to the spacious dining room that doubles as a function room. The guest ales are usually Welsh and changed weekly. Running alongside the garden is an old railway track bed that once led to Blaenavon Low Level station in the north;

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

Formerly three cottages, this pub has evolved from having just a small public bar and now comprises three rooms including the original bar which has changed little for over 60 years. This characterful room has a large inglenook fireplace including a bread oven and old fixed seating down one side of the room. The bar counter and back fitting were added in the 1950s. The only change appears to be the adding of some wooden inlay to the seating some 40 years ago. In the 1960s the pub extended into another cottage to create the lounge and into the third cottage in the 1970s hence the two-part room we see today. More recently a dining room has been built onto the side.
