Today there’s no point bringing your shoes in for new soles, but ale is most certainly still offered – Clod Hopper, Tuffer’s Old Porter and Bumble Boots (a Summer ale) are brewed on site. Now renovated and refurbished, the inn makes a good choice for a drink, a meal and for overnight luxury accommodation if you’re in this lovely part of the country”.
