| It is a slightly odd place in that you sort of expect a pub in the very picturesque village of Alton to be more, well, pub-like. It's a uninspiring building from the outside, out of kilter with the centuries-old stone cottages that surround it and going inside and seeing the decor is more like stepping into a 1970s working man's club. The door opens to a horseshoe bar with room-space to both left and right. Having said all that, the regime is extremely welcoming and friendly and the Scottish landlord is proud to have been there for well over 20 years. Decent well-kept ales, although from the all too familiar regionals. Don't be alarmed to see men disappearing through the door marked "ladies" as it is actually a passage around the back of the bar, through which you approach the ladies loo.

| Strange sort of place, half pub, half B & B. My girlfriend and I stayed her while visiting Alton Towers. The pub does not open until 6:30 pm and the B & B rooms are realy nice. Had a nice en-suite and everything. Nice pint of Marstons Pedigree Alex - 10 Jun 2004 16:39 |
