Description

Tucked into a great spot with good views, this country pub serves impressive mains—blue cod, steak and perfectly cooked chicken tenders—with generous portions and cold, inexpensive beer. Friendly kitchen staff earn praise, and rooms are available. However, expect inconsistency: menus may differ from the website, service can be brusque or slow, and some dishes have arrived overcooked or overpriced. The casual, local atmosphere suits cyclists, families and travelers seeking rustic charm, but those wanting polished dining should manage expectations.

Great wee country pub. Awesome spot for a beer, burger and chips after a long day. Classic banter from the staff and crack up locals. Cheers guys! Service: 5

Called in on a Saturday night for drinks and dinner. The dinner menu was very completely different not the same standard as the one published on the website. Ordered the schnitzel which was unappetising and lacked any vegetables or salad. Went back on Sunday 30 minutes before closing time for a drink dessert. The single staff member told us that they were closed and was not welcoming at all. Not a good experience. Service: 4

The beer was nice and cold and inexpensive. But we got them on a bad day (I hope) we had a shuttle in 75 minutes and our meals didn't make it in time. No problem getting a refund but they had estimated 30 minutes.
