Live music and themed dining events offer evening entertainment.

“While the pub's interior may seem a bit dated at first glance, the rooms offer comfort and cleanliness; I found the staff genuinely welcoming and the service attentive, particularly regarding dietary needs. Its central location in town adds definite convenience, and the freshly cooked breakfast impressed me. For value and a friendly atmosphere, this inn stands out.”
