Outstanding stay, food and company.
Amazing place and pub/overnight stay. This is a little gem and the owners and staff should be proud of the great pub and guest rooms they run. The locals are friendly and nice, and this pub is at the heart of the community as it should be. Anyone who wants fantastic food, great staff and company needing a room or meal within 20 miles of this place should divert there. I cannot commend this establishment enough. I travel all over the UK with my job, and this is by fsr my favourite place to stay bar none.

Amazing staff food beers and room. As a business traveler I’m helping the smaller businesses rather than the larger corporate ones. The food was amazing- saw local fish monger deliver van so no cash and carry food here. Beer selection was fantastic with local craft beers 🍺. Only a few rooms so don’t miss out

A very popular pub , restaurant and guest house. I’ve been here three times in the last few months and look for a reservation every time I’m working in the area. Just stayed over a damp wet Wednesday night and the place was bursting which was amazing to see. I recommend booking a table for food as there is not much of a chance to walk in . The rooms are clean & comfortable and has chairs and a desk I can work from if needed. Breakfast which is ordered the night before is wonderful, flavoursome and filling. As before , my first choice when working in the area.

Great Food, Beer and People
Excellent place to stay with really good food and great range of beers. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly making you feel like regular visitor in this small community pub. First class and would recommend it, even if only for some food, drinks and friendly faces.

Our room was exceptionally comfortable and impeccably clean, with a cozy bed that ensured a great night's sleep. Additionally, our interactions with Monika were outstanding, and Rob and Maggie made us feel truly at home. The Full Welsh Breakfast Maggie prepared was exceptionally delicious! I highly recommend this Inn and would return if the chance presented itself.
