Good Hotel Guide Review
After standing empty for almost nine years and falling into decay, this handsome village pub was rescued by the community a decade ago and thrives today as a friendly local and smart pub-with-rooms. Sarah Cowley, front-of-house, and Mark Harris in the kitchen, are industry pros. The three simple, immaculate bedrooms, accessed by exterior steps, have neutral, restful décor, and good ensuite showers. A varied, seasonally changing menu includes pub staples and more unusual dishes – maybe Welsh lamb rump, potato terrine, jus, salsa verde; seared cod, tempura tiger prawn, lemon grass and coconut bisque. Eat and drink in a cosy bar, the new oak-frame dining room or in the sunshine in the orchard garden.
