One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: II*
The old dining room is the star attraction here, featuring some of the finest oak panelling in the country. There is a heavily carved frieze plus a number of pilasters while the east wall fireplace has a richly carved Jacobean overmantle. Two bullet holes in the panelling are said to be from the civil war whilst an officer's sword caused a slice in one of the beams.
