Run by: Dougie & Liz Hill

Family owned country pub with home cooked food (Liz does the catering) and three real ales, mostly from a 20-mile radius. There’s a secure lock-up and a boiler room for drying out kit. Part of the Cyclists Welcome scheme. Very obliging and right on the route.

Ideal for groups, this charming Georgian Grade II listed farmhouse has a splendid bunkhouse in a splendidly converted stable. Stunning views across the marshes and sands to Scotland. You can leave your car here and there’s a secure lock-up. The bunkhouse sleeping area now separate from living area.
