Thatched mid-17th-century inn, constructed as a row of four cottages into which the pub has expanded over the years. The oldest part is what is now the dining room. The public bar is especially characterful – it has a stone fireplace with bread oven, half-height panelling, bench seating, simple bar-back shelves and, thanks to intentional non-decoration for 60 years, a wonderful nicotine colour scheme on the ceiling and some walls. A later expansion to an area on the right does not detract. Other rooms also sport superb large fireplaces.
Thatched mid 15th century inn which was originally 4 cottages built to accommodate the craftsmen rebuilding Iddlesleigh Church. After completed, one cottage was kept as an almshouse. The public bar has a 1950s bar counter and shelving from that period behind the bar above a row of casks on stillage. Woodwork enclosed beams and potshelf above bar are more modern work (1970s?). A large stone fireplace with a bread oven and a part-chamfered, part ovolo-moulded wooden lintel. The bar is opened-up to a small right room in 1970s with bench seating. On the left in the former almshouse is the dining room consisting of a room at the front left and a tiny alcove at the rear.
