The Royal★★★★
"17th-century coaching inn with plenty of character."
Overview
The Royal is a 16th-century former grain store that became an inn around 100 years ago. Part of the pub is the former cottage which was famed for producing nettle beer, but these days guests can choose from hand-pulled ales, and sample traditional homemade pub food. The rear terrace with its pizza oven, well stocked bar and undercover dining area adds to the overall appeal of this period inn.
