Trevor commented: “The pub has been through the generations of our family, it was originally owned by my grandfather and then my dad. I bought the freehold off him over 30 years ago and have been running it alongside my wife Carolyn since”.

The traditional village pub underwent renovations where the barn was converted and now comprises of three ensuite double letting rooms, including owners living quarters.

Trevor’s wife, Carolyn said: “The past 30 years have been wonderful not only living in our beautiful pub but also this unique village. However, through poor health over the last couple of years, we feel it is the right time for us to retire.”
