Having worked in the hospitality industry for 20 years and with a passion for pubs, it seemed like the perfect thing for us to do.

We are next door to the National Trust property, Montacute House and right in the heart of the village with many beautiful walks on our door step. We are 15 minutes from the Haynes International Motor Museum, the UK's largest exhibition of the greatest cars around the world. With over 400 amazing cars and bikes from nostalgic classics of the 50's and the 60's such as wonderful Bentley's and Rolls Royce to exciting super cars like Jaguar XJ220.
