Lovely 17th-century Grade II listed thatched pub. It's interior consists of four rooms with the doorways altered to form an open plan layout, yet still retaining their individuality, such as the dining area and the games room, with its pool table and dartboard. The decor is traditional with beamed ceiling, tongue and groove paneling, wooden settles and brick fireplaces. The walls are adorned with many interesting prints and photographs, including one near the rear door, of 'Bathing Machines' on Paignton beach in Victorian times. At the rear of the premises is a cosy walled garden with a handful of picnic tables.
Historic Interest
17th-century Grade II listed
17th century thatched pub with four opened-up rooms - the original layout was a large public bar, lounge, snug and off licence and draught Bass was sold from the cask. On the left is a dining room (was the public bar) with a large 1930s brick fireplace with a chimney up to the ceiling. The bar counter could be a 1930s one but the bar back is modern and a second brick fireplace may also date from the 1930s. Some dado panelling might be old. The rear bar has a fielded panelled counter that looks 1930s work as does the bar back, there is a parquet floor and a small 1930s brick fireplace. On the far right is a games room with a good blue glazed brick early 20th century fireplace but the dado panelling is modern. Separate skittle alley / function room at rear of the pub.
