Good Pub Guide Recommended

Relaxed little bar in civilised coaching inn with several smart lounges, an attractive restaurant, real ales, an excellent wine list and first-class food; lovely bedrooms

At the heart of this smart and civilised old coaching inn is a small bar with a friendly welcome. The atmosphere is relaxed and there are sofas and a few tables, wood panelling, a log fire, Black Sheep Best and Copper Dragon Golden Pippin on handpump, 14 wines by the glass from an extensive list that includes fine old St Emilions and pudding wines, and 20 malt whiskies. Opposite, a bare-boards room with a few more tables has another fire in a handsome art nouveau iron fireplace, a big bow window and pear prints on its plum-coloured walls. The restaurant has flagstones, yet another open fire, comfortable settles and gothic screens, and the residents' lounge is in a converted beamed barn. The old coach entry to the car park is very narrow. Luxurious bedrooms and delicious breakfasts.
