With sunshine back on the agenda a local walk was in order Sunday morning. Park up in the corner of the inn and exited the car park on our 3hr circular walk talking in a Viking cremation cemetary with 60 burial mounds and a Christian church carved into the sandstone cliff. Arrive back at the JT to a very warm... More

Lunchtimes only for food but cannot be beaten for a roast beef dinner. Meat is succulent and tender and the horseradish is mind blowing. Vegetables are fresh and well cooked. Home brewed beers are wonderful. Pleasant surroundings with warming log fires. Great value.

Me and my fiancé stayed in the gorgeous well presented log-cabins last night ! Upon arrival we was thrilled to see the views that surround the place. Inside the log cabin had everything you will need for your stay , they seem to have them kitted out with every little essential that could possibly needed for a nights stay ,... More

Went here for an evening drink, location is lovely and rural. The pub has a real country-pub feel which was fantastic- log file, old beams and a gorgeous black labrador snoozing away. Drinks were well priced and the service was great. Cant wait to return!

The pub itself was warm, welcoming, and... More

This is a great place. We booked 5 of the 6 log cabins and stayed for the weekend. The cabins were excellent and really comfortable, and the pub offered great food and drink. The Sunday carvery was really lovely. A big thanks to Nick and the team, we are looking forward to coming back.
