The Perfect Pub Stop in Rural Wales
On a recent trip through the beautiful Welsh countryside, we stumbled upon a gem of a pub tucked away in a rural location that felt like stepping back in time. This historic pub, which dates back centuries (and might even be haunted), offered an unforgettable experience.
We parked our campervan in their car park for the night, making it a convenient and welcoming stop. The staff couldn’t have been friendlier, going out of their way to ensure we felt at home. They even took the time to share stories about the pub’s fascinating history, which added an extra layer of charm to the visit.
The menu was impressive, offering a wide variety of dishes to suit all tastes, including a fantastic selection of vegetarian options. Every plate was cooked to perfection—great portions, fresh ingredients, and flavours. The prices were more than reasonable for the quality of the food, making it excellent value for money.
The ambience inside was warm and inviting, with a cosy atmosphere that hinted at the building's storied past. Whether or not the ghostly rumours are true, there’s certainly something magical about this place.
The combination of great food, friendly service, and its idyllic location means we’ll definitely be returning. If you’re passing through rural Wales, this pub is a must-visit. Just make sure to ask the staff about its history—you won’t regret it!
