This pub is included in the East Anglian Inventory of Historical pub interiors. The room on the left features an uneven flagstone floor, with an L shaped high backed settle. There is a small room on the right with an old brick fireplace with copper hood and quart tiled floor. Three Adnams beers on handpump.

We have visited Southwold and the surrounding area on several occasions but we cannot recall visiting this pub. We are glad we did. As you enter into the original part, there are various areas, with the stone floors worn into interesting hollows and angles, as the pub is over 600 years old. To the left there is a more modern two part dining area, and there is another area to the rear. Children are not allowed in the area in front of the bar. The barmaid was most friendly and welcoming. Adnams Bitter at £3.10, Broadside, Old Ale, Explorer and Ghost Ship on draught. There is a garden at the back. The whole place has a lovely traditional pub feel to it, and is well worth a visit. We will be returning.

Walked along the dunes from Southwold and arrived via the foot-ferry (a well-worth-it 70p in a rowing boat). The pub was very quiet at 17:30 so some sporting rivalry continued over a game of dominoes; good pub guide suggests that they also have shove-ha'penny & boules. Usual Adnams beers were good, the pub was attractive with wood panelling, a nice looking breakfast room for the hotel to one side, a huge grassy beer garden to the rear past which was a view of the sea. Tried to book accom here but they have a two-night minimum stay.
