This Pub is Closed Long Term

Named after the ancient local tradition involving the Hobby Horse which takes to the streets on the eve of the first of May each year, with accompanying musicians and rival horses. The building is an elegant restored Victorian hotel overlooking the sea.

The Hobby Horse has six rooms and caters for weddings and parties. There is occasional live music. The three regular beers may change in future.
