This 16th century inn was built as a farmhouse and reputedly became a smugglers' inn during the 18th century. Extensively refurbished, it retains the ancient flagstones and beams, inglenook fireplace and many interesting photographs. A popular destination dining pub, offering good locally sourced food, it also has a strong real ale following with six ales available. Situated near to the lighthouse the pub has many links to Trinity House. Rumour has it that Prince Philip was a regular visitor when his sailing companion Uffa Fox lived nearby. Closed all day Monday and Tuesday in the winter with variable food times in afternoons. Three real ales during winter months.
