The ideal Walker's pub. Lovely location, with a campsite not far from the road but set in beautiful countryside. Warm, friendly staff and great basket meals. Highly recommended!!

Was providing karaoke for the evening, a retirement party, good wishes for your retirement Mark

Lovely pub with nice bar food. Under new ownership and spending lots of money to make it better without losing the charm.

Came here for a long weekend camping in a campervan. Lovely location with stunning scenery. The shower and toilet block isn't up and running yet, but the pub toilets are open 24hrs (you don't have to go through the pub to get to them). The owners are new and are lovely. The pub itself is cosy with real fires and the bar staff are great. Food is basket meals at the moment, but they are good value and tasty. Also as an added bonus there is the Heritage railway that stops at the pub. Steam train service from the pub, how brilliant is that!!? There are also the Garn lakes just around the corner and lots of easy walks in the area as well as cycle trails. All in all a fab site and pub which is being restored by the new owners.....Will definitely return!!

Stayed in the campsite. Friendly welcome, pub closed unfortunately, but great food delivered from the village. Easy walk to 2 lovely lakes, one with fishing so I will bring my rod next time!

Perfect for a camping stopover, nice location in the hills. Needed our levelling blocks though. Landlord very friendly and we enjoyed a few drinks in the bar with welcoming locals. No food on when we visited due to staff shortage but plenty coming in who wanted to dine so I'm sure the food is good. Will definitely stop again when visiting the area.

Just enjoyed a lovely lunch with my family. Food was delicious, service excellent and a great menu choice for both adults and kids. Location again absolutely stunning with some great views, and the Steam Railway station right next door. Get out here and support independent pubs. Highly recommend 👍

I stayed here at the campsite attached to the pub. The site was low priced due to having to use pub toilets. Also no hook ups available yet. But theses are easy to access. Nice and quiet the only noise is from a poorly maintained cattle grid on the main road when vehicles go over it. But you get used to it soon enough.It’s nice and close to some beautiful walks if you stay here. Soon there will be a new toilet block which will affect the camping price but it will be worth it.The pub is dog friendly. Toilets are very clean. Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere in the pub.I ordered stake and it was beautiful, the food was hot and tasty. I can’t fault the food at all. It was a good amount for the price.I would recommend staying here in a caravan or tent even though no hook ups available yet. I intend to come here again.Nice place to campNice place to eat.Has a 5 star food rating.Kids play areaCan catch the steam train from the site when it runs
