A very warm welcome from Peter and Sheila who stated to me that they are very happy to accept campers/motorhomes in the car park overnight (free). Just pop in for a pint and a chat. They do 7 different real ales and have a full bar menu and have a 60 seater restaurant. Although we didn’t have any food the food smelt and looked great. Peter and Sheila also opened the toilets for us early in the morning so we could use the facilities. Highly recommended..
