This is our award winning local. We love it. Just 2 mins down the hill or a beautiful 30 minute walk along the lane. You’ll always get a warm welcome from Tony, Pat and Jayne, especially if you say you’re staying with us. They serve beer from the barrel and very good home cooked food.

Very popular pub about 15/20 minutes drive. Lovely bar area and good food with outside seating and a garden room for larger parties. There's a little playground opposite it for the children to let off a bit of steam before or after your visit!

Gorgeous locally sourced, seasonal healthy food. Lots of delicious flatbreads, salads, chutneys, salsas, cakes, biscuits, scones and the most exquisite passion fruit curd - heaven on a plate! As well as Food to Go! Delicious Takeaway meals to heat up at home. Somewhere for coffee and cake as well as a quick flatbread and salad lunch out. Limited seating so probably good to book ahead.
