Three Horseshoes, Newcastle Emlyn

A village local in a popular tourist destination village, with lots of exposed stone, old bare board floors and a four seater fireplace. Two rooms plus a dining room at the rear called the Saddle Room, all fairly traditionally furnished with wooden furniture. Décor in the front room is on a fishing theme with added pump clips plus a number of pictures of the river Teifi and some of coracles as the National Coracle Centre is next door. There is also a seriously large TV. Four pumps on the counter, two with ever changing guests, one with cider and one unused. The beer was a touch cold but otherwise very good. Listed in the 2013 Good Beer Guide as a “gem” but with a warning that it can get touristy, I found it a very good place for food and beer during the spring but “gem” might be a step too far.
