OUR STORY
Freeholders Gary & Maxine, along with their team have been running and renovating The New Inn since 2011, turning it into the characterful coaching Inn it deserves to be, where local people and visiting guests can relax and enjoy the
traditional hospitality. The Inn has increasingly become a hub for the community over the past few years, the character and spirit of the local people truly are the heartbeat of the place.
​
There is a warm and inviting public bar and dining room both with log burning stoves. Our games & function hall has a pool table, table tennis, dart boards and a selection of board games. There's a log burning stove, private bar, and the space can seat up to 100 people. We also have a hidden beer garden with pergola and comfy seating. The Wifi connection is free and available throughout the building.
On the first floor there are two guest rooms, one of which is a two bedroom suite with bathroom, the other being a large room with ensuite. Just like the Inn was originally intended for, travellers from all over the world and closer to home are warmly welcomed.
