Parts of the building date from 1577 when it was a farmhouse called "Broadstones". It was revised and converted into an inn in 1748, when it included a blacksmith's forge and had a working farm of 34 acre. The chef Michael Lane took over the pub in 2004.

Architecture

The roughcast stone whitewashed building has stone flagstone floors and a slate roof. There are still working gas lights in two of the rooms.
