My friend Rob and I stopped here last night for a quick drink and to fill up our water bottles. The lady who helped us was very friendly and so kind to fill up our 4 bottles. The Inn looked amazing on the outside and very cosy inside. We are definitely planning on coming back here some time.
Great pub, recommended by a mate we called in for a drink. Made to feel really welcomed. The food looked good but didn't get the chance to try it, maybe next time. Hope to return soon
Absolutely fantastic pub. Walked in last night as we were staying at the nearby campsite, and were recommended to grab a drink here. The locals all went quiet, but swiftly welcomed us in with open arms and great banter. We planned to stay for 1 pr 2 drinks, but the inn is so charming we found ourselves back in for more. An hour later we dragged some stools over and proceeded with drinking, chatting & singing into the wee hours! Genuinely an unrivaled night, and the highlight of our week long trip. Absolutely fantastic bunch of people, and I sincerely wish them all the best! We're for sure coming back next time we're in the area. Hopefully Rhys might even have sobered up by then :p Much love from PJ & Chris!
We popped in to watch the rugby and ended up having such a brilliant afternoon missed the mini bus home and stayed longer! The Sunday lunch was top-notch, perfect roast, and Yorkshire puddings that could double as hats. The gravy alone deserves its own five-star rating. The bar staff were fantastic — welcoming, chatty, and clearly experts in keeping the pints flowing. The locals made us feel right at home too by the end of the match it felt like we’d joined the village. It was our first visit, but definitely not our last. Can’t wait to return!
Beautiful Quirky Traditional Friendly Welsh pub.... Serves the Best Guinness in Wales.
Really lovely atmosphere friendly and chatty even though we were obviously on holiday. Food was excellent quality and really good value for money would throughly recommend
Really nice little pub. Lovely food and super friendly staff. We popped in after being out for a hike with our dogs and just caught the tail end of them serving food but it was delicious had two gorgeous roasts. We were made to feel incredibly welcome and they are very dog friendly despite our dogs being on the large size. We'll definitely be back again when we're in the area.
