We stumbled across the lodge when walking our Collie. We wasn't sure what to expect but what we did find were friendly bar staff, friendly regulars and a genuinely welcoming landlord and landlady. More importantly they welcome well behaved dogs which is brilliant because our Betty loves to socialise. Free water for dogs is always offered. Music is on in the background too which is fantastic. December 2023 Update. Kids of any age are not allowed in here past 7pm.
