Formerly three cottages, this pub has evolved from having just a small public bar and now comprises three rooms including the original bar which has changed little for over 60 years. This characterful room has a large inglenook fireplace including a bread oven and old fixed seating down one side of the room. The bar counter and back fitting were added in the 1950s. The only change appears to be the adding of some wooden inlay to the seating some 40 years ago. In the 1960s the pub extended into another cottage to create the lounge and into the third cottage in the 1970s hence the two-part room we see today. More recently a dining room has been built onto the side.
