Although refitted in the late 1940s, the original plan of four small rooms plus off-sales remains discernible at this 19th-century stone-built pub. A panelled passage leads from the front door to the former off-sales hatch, to the left of which is a small old counter. Front left, the small ‘Commercial Room’ has an inter-war fireplace and old wall cupboards; the original door is the now half-height one in the passage, the currently used opening coming later. Another small room, front right, was once a ladies’ parlour and has old panelling and another wall cupboard. A wide gap leads into the main bar with a counter that is older than it looks (in features in a photo taken in the late 1940s), plus panelled walls and a brick fireplace. A cottage on the left was incorporated into the pub, adding two more rooms. No food Monday or Tuesday.
19th century stone built multi-roomed pub originally three cottages that was a blacksmiths and bar. Following a change of landlord in c1947 it would appear there was a refit. The original plan of four small rooms and an off-sales can be easily made out. A passage with old half-height tongue and groove panelling painted light green from the front door leads to what was the off sales hatch. Small room on the front left has a 'Commercial Room' etched window, a 1930s brick fireplace painted pale green and old wall cupboards. On the front right is another small room, formerly a ladies parlour, with remnants of an old fireplace, but the dado panelling may be modern and has been painted cream.

A wide gap leads into the main bar, which appears to be a small room extended back in the 1950s when a replacement bar counter was inserted to cover the enlarged room. It has a 1950s brick fireplace with a log fire in the rear part and panelled walls painted cream in both areas. To the left of the off-sales hatch there is a small old bar counter with the front painted pale green and a cupboard in the left part. A cottage on the left has been incorporated into the pub, which has added two small rooms with another small oldish counter.
