Description

On entering this charming pub, to the left you are welcomed with a comfy snug with cosy fixtures and fittings, complete with an open fire place which is exceptionally popular on the cooler days and this area is serviced by the delightful bar slightly to the right. To the right of the pub you will find the dining areas which are split into four sections which could easily accommodate a large number of diners at a time. There are 5 en-suite letting bedrooms located on the first and second floor, all of good quality with fully fitted bathrooms. There is a fully fitted commercial catering kitchen with separate wash up are and extraction. Outside the pub, the beer garden embraces the building in a horseshoe manner, with picnic benches to the front and side and a dramatic garden to the rear with phenomenal and uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside with the benefit of an outside bar which has previously been used in the summer months. There is a large car park approximately 20 yards from the pub.

There is no living accommodation unless a couple of letting bedrooms were converted.
