Reputedly the oldest surviving inn in the village, the older unit to right probably C18 though possibly with earlier origins, larger added unit left probably mid to later C19. Photograph c 1900 shows building much as at present.  

Of stone, pebbledashed, with painted rendered surrounds and sills to front, rendered to side and rear; Welsh slate roof, stone end stack to early unit right, yellow brick end stacks to later left; stone single storey cross wing at rear at junction of two builds and further parallel wing create a rear courtyard. 2 bay front range right has small 6/6 pane casement windows to first floor and similar larger to ground; former central doorway now has window. Later range left has deep 8/8 pane horned sash windows with painted rendered surrounds and cambered heads; central gabled porch, mostly renewed.  

Interior mainly refurbished but batter to rear wall of older unit visible.  

Listed as the oldest surviving public house retaining externally much of its character.
