The Blacksmiths, one of Britain's few remaining authentic country Inns abounds with character and characters, and incidentally, if you wondered why its called the Blacksmiths Arms, is that next door is the area's only fully operational Smithy.
Bar & Lounge The olde worlde atmosphere and character of the two bars is a fine example of times long gone, in fact very little has changed in these rooms in two hundred years - except for the electric light bulb and slight increase in beer prices.

The fine furnishings and traditional furniture are a credit to the Arnall family who have striven and succeeded in preserving this unique and rare example of an English Country Inn.
