Old traditional coaching inn on the Market Square, served by a single long downstairs bar, with a few tables outside in the covered cobbled passage once used by the horses. Good value food arrives via a small lift. Groups, for example, walkers, should call before arrival. Breakfasts are served until 9am, 11am at weekends. Acquired by Arkell's in 2006, the pub underwent an extensive refurbishment and has 34 rooms en-suite available.
