This 17th century brick and peg tile Inn and associated cottages are under a strict preservation order. Set in rural countryside on the Saxon Shore Way beside a river, which, centuries ago was over 200 yards wide. It was from the pub that a ferry once operated to Appledore. The Ferry also had a long association with smuggling operations and during the Napoleonic Wars troops were billeted here. May close early on Winter evenings if quiet. Seating area to the front and a large garden area to the rear with a newly refurbished dining room offers plenty of places to enjoy the locally sourced produce.
