    Travelled alone but was made to feel extremely welcome. Due to traffic, I arrived after the kitchen closed but had a sandwich made for me so was very happy.

    A good overnight stopp
    Excellent typical country pub with good meals, both in the evening and at breakfast. Decor in room and bathroom were a little dated but both very clean. If you want a night away or a couple of nights to explore the area then the Blacksmiths Arms is a good place to rest your head.
    Tere is parking close to the pub, on the road, in a small car park and just outside on the green. However, when we arrived at 8pm on a Friday night these places were all taken and so we had to park about 150m away on a side street. This was not a real issue apart from getting wet bringing our bags in
