Ye Olde Fleece Inn

A historic inn with proper character, the kind that comes with old beams, cosy corners, and the feeling that a thousand good stories have already happened here. It’s known locally for its heritage, but it doesn’t live in the past, because the food and drink offering is firmly in the “we’re doing this properly” lane. Expect a gastropub feel with seasonal plates, quality ales, and the sort of warm atmosphere that makes you want to take your coat off and commit to staying. Ideal after a walk when you’re hungry enough to consider eating your own gloves. The setting feels snug and welcoming, and your dog will be delighted to find an indoor place where they can flop down and recover from their heroic adventures. Come for lunch, stay for dinner, and accept that you’ll be talking about this meal tomorrow. Dogs welcome inside.
