Between The Downs and the sea - an inn for over 200 years, this fine country free house has a compact bar featuring flagstones, settles, half-panelled walls and a fine old range. Sympathetically extended, it remains unspoilt. The beers are meticulously presented. A blackboard reveals the diverse, high-quality menu of hearty home-made dishes, all sourced locally (roasts at Sunday lunchtime). En-suite accommodation is dog-friendly, some in a converted 17th-century oak-beamed flint barn. Recently under new ownership, the beer range may see some change.
