Traditional village pub, very convenient for the War Museum and with a friendly atmosphere. Jem and I sat out in the garden with a book while the others went to the museum, and felt very comfortable.

The dog-friendly pub here is a step back in time to the 1850s with a quirky and really lovely old building. You can almost still hear the shouts of stagecoach drivers and ostlers across the heathland.

A lovely country pub that's dog-friendly and close by the A413. Such a shame that access to several really excellent dog walks is blocked by a railway line on one side and a river on the other.
