As it’s name suggests, this is in fact a hotel rather than just a pub, but there is nonetheless a bar that is open to non-residents. The pub itself consists of one room, although there is also another room off to the left that appears to be more of a restaurant. It was very quiet on a recent Friday evening visit with only two other punters in, and even they were just having a drink in the bar prior to eating.

Decor wise it’s quite traditional, with dark wooden boards on the floor, some red flock wallpaper on one wall with white plasterwork and dark wood panelling elsewhere along with a few oil paintings dotted around. At the far end was an exposed stone wall which included an integral fire-place which must have been quite a feature at one time. These days though, there was just a small grate in the bottom which appeared to be coal, but was I suspect, gas. This was despite a couple of recesses either side stacked with logs. Furniture consisted of a few bar stools, table and chairs, a sofa or two and even a chaise lounge.

Unfortunately there were no real ales on tap, just keg Gem. The solitary cider was Stowford Press.
