Early 18th century stone-built and thatched village pub with two exterior doors leading to a small room with flagstone floor on the left and quarry tiled one on the right. From the entrance lobby on two levels there is a small lounge, formerly two small rooms, which has a small modern counter and a working Raeburn cooker. There is a dining room on the right in a 20th century extension. Plaster over stone walls feature with more inter-connected rooms to the rear, including a snug and leather settees, with the low beams, make this a quaint and unusual pub. The walls are decorated with prints of country houses. the rear patio leads to the car park.
Update in 2019
The interior was revamped in 2018 – the servery has been moved from the space accessed via a short passage at the rear to the main room at the front. The pub is now only of local interest.
The former description is shown below. The accompanying photographs show the interior before the work took place.
The servery is an unusual feature in this early 18th-century stone- built, thatched pub. Outside doors labelled ‘Public Bar’ and ‘Smoke Room’ lead to a small room, with a floor part flagstoned and part quarry-tiled, betraying the fact that two rooms were combined in the 1980s. This was supposedly to make skittle-playing safer - cheeses were formerly thrown from the narrow passage into the public bar making it necessary to stop play when anyone wanted to enter or leave the pub! The original servery/cellar is at the rear and installation of the bar counter has made the drinking area very tight. From the entrance lobby on two levels is a small lounge, formerly two tiny rooms, with a small modern counter and Raeburn cooker. The dining room occupies a modern extension.
