The building probably predates a time when the road from Abergavenny to Crucorney was a turnpike road, perhaps 16th century. Originally it may have been a large farmhouse which then became a coaching inn. At some time the exterior of the property was changed substantially to give the Georgian façade that exists today. Rumour has it that a resident ghost dates from that time. Very recent internal structural alterations have been carried out sympathetically to give an extended dining area as well as a pleasant flagstone floor around the bar with a log fire at the side. In these days when country pubs need to provide food in order to survive the current hosts have managed to find a perfect marriage between eating and drinking. The adjacent hills of The Sugar Loaf, Bryn Arw and Ysgyryd Fawr make this a perfect starting (and finishing!) point for a walk. Nothing could be better on a summer's day than removing one's boots in the front garden and relaxing with some liquid refreshment gazing over towards Ysgyryd Fawr. On the market for a sale price of £575,000 with Sidney Phillips.
