Traditional village pub alongside the Brecon and Monmouth canal, popular with visitors. Two separate rooms with stone floors and log fires link to the small central bar which offers a varied range of ales, mainly from independent breweries. The sunny garden is a popular spot when the weather is good and the pub's location makes it an ideal destination for boaters, walkers and cyclists. Opening times for bar and food do change, so worth checking before visiting.

Listed status: II
A three-roomed pub popular with diners and drinkers, this late-Georgian rendered building has a public bar on the left little changed in 70 years. You can arrive here by narrow boat as a series of steps and a steep slope lead up to the canal tow-path of the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal. The small public bar has a red quarry-tiled floor, and a fine bar-back fitting with mirrored panels and a drawer, all of which look to date from around 1930. The old stone fireplace has a bread oven to the left while the bench seating looks more post war and two oblong tables are possibly of oak. To the rear left is a small room with a 1930s brick fireplace. The bar counter continues in an island style but much of it was added in recent years. A room to the right of the passage has a Victorian fireplace with inlaid marble and a fine fender.
