Lovely pub in great village location. Lots of parking at a cross roads of major cycle routes. So a great place to start and defintely end with a nice well deserved cold beer

Not much to add that hasn't already been said in the comments above, other than that there used to be a pub, but this closed in 2009, the current owner has done an excellent job of maintaining the station and out buildings, when we passed they were working on some machinery in the engine shed.

Recent design makeover sets the place off a treat for a treat in the sun or inside. At least a star or 2 over the former 'speckledy' regime.
