This family-run free house has been included in CAMRA's Good Beer Guide every year since 2011.

The 'Drum and Monkey' suite occupies the entire top floor and is furnished with a mix of antique charm and modern fixtures. All rooms are accessed via separate stairs and may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility due to the historic nature of the building.
