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 camp
Nice place to eat.
Has a 5 star food rating.
Kids play area
Can catch the steam train from the site when it runs

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!!

Really pleased I found this pub and campsite. I stayed on a Saturday night for £10, there are 15 hardstandings so you don't sink in the grass! I had an evening meal which was really nice and excellent value for money and was kept company by some friendly locals. Even my dog was spoiled with treats and fuss! A really welcoming place. I decided to have a Sunday lunch too and it was superb! There are some lovely walks in the area so it makes a great base to explore from. Would highly recommend.

Room for improvement. Had Sunday lunch here today after not visiting for a number of years since their long time owner, Cliff, left. Starter (pate) was good. Main was underwhelming unfortunately. Very small amount of meat and what was there was quite tough. Veg and gravy were nice. Dessert was great, sticky toffee pudding with custard. Drinks good, plenty of selection. Biggest issue was slow service, but not enough to mark them down right now.

Had a gorgeous roast beef lunch. Beautiful walks nearby. Also a small camping area on site. Looking forward to camping here soon.
