Pros
Historic 17th-century building with low beams and charming character.
Locally sourced dining options with generous portion sizes and fresh fish.
Free private parking and accessible parking available.
Pet-friendly accommodation and engaging pub atmosphere.
Friendly hosts and quick service noted in guest reviews.

Rooms above the bar (e.g., Beaver room) can hear noise from the pub until midnight.
Some rooms overlook a busy T-junction, with traffic noise and lack of blackout curtains.
“This property presents a genuinely welcoming atmosphere, with proprietors who clearly excel at making guests feel at home. The rooms are thoughtfully appointed, blending comfort with character, and the food, from breakfast through to pub fare, consistently impresses with quality and generous portions.”
