A great stay with lots to see and do.

From walking into the pub we were welcomed like we were known to the staff. Everyone said hello. We had a lovely walk around the town. It is super popular whatever time of day you call in. The locals are always popping in. The evenings are popular with people wanting to dine.

They’re always really friendly. I first stayed here in 2009. I was running late, called ahead and they were kind enough to make me a meal ahead of arriving and warmed it up for me when I got there.

Brief stop on our way home.

We were passing through on our way home from Scotland. The pub was great, had a wonderful and spacious outside area with covered and open seating. They were very accommodating of our dog. Had a great meal in the evening, and an equally good breakfast before getting back on the road. The area was beautiful and wish we had more time to roam.
