This family Brewery sits in a small courtyard just off the street near the end of the town. The tap room is small but sufficient and hosts a shop and brewery tours. The beers are always on excellent form as are the staff. Small snacks are available including locally made pies from a butcher in the town. Always a warm welcome and fond favourites of BFTWNI. At present none of the licenced premises are serving their ales on draught. There is a discount scheme for BFTW members.

Comfortable & friendly country inn with childrens certificate. Good food and great guest beers - the boss has every right to be proud of his beer conditioning. Lovely village straddling the river. This is not now a hotel but they can guide you to places to stay. Restaurant to one side, bar with large fire, lounge and games room at the other. Check out the seaside postcards in the toilets.

A bar with a roaring fire, two small lounges with aircraft photographs from RAF bases. Narrow stairs lead up to the bedrooms. Good accommodation with 12 rooms, but book well in advance. Very large restaurant overlooking a very old graveyard where interred are the many bodies from local shipwrecks. Excellent meals served by friendly staff. (See my red car?).
