Excellent pub, hidden away in a hamlet formed from a series of now residential lanes on a wooded hillside. It has a fair-sized car park on the lower level which was nearly full early on a Wednesday evening, and it was thus no surprise to find it almost at its post-coronavirus capacity. However my walk in the rain up from the town was rewarded by finding a table in the corner and a very fine pint of the local Ledbury Bitter (£3.60). There were also three other real ales - another Ledbury beer from its Hop Development Series, Butty Bach and Golden Thread from Salopian - available from a total of six handpumps, and on a better evening drinks can be enjoyed out on the terrace beer garden.

Enjoyed our visit yesterday to this 2018 Good Beer Guide pub. The bar and main dining areas are in the original 18th century building with more modern extensions housing a games room and restaurant. Selection of cask ales and ciders available, and we chose Navigation Patriot and Gloucester Priory Ale which were fine. They also had 2 Wye Valley beers on and Butcombe Small World came on just before we left.
