This historic 17th-century public house, once known as The White Hart and now formally knows as The Laurels Inn, sits at the heart of the village next to the church. Over the years, it has served various roles, including as a coaching house and private dwelling, before reopening as a pub and restaurant in the 1970s. Recent improvements include a new roof, updated flooring, and the installation of a cozy multi-fuel burner. During the pandemic, the owners successfully introduced a takeaway service, popular with locals. The pub has now ceased trading and is awaiting a new owner. The property features private accommodation with 4-5 bedrooms, a spacious living room with stunning countryside views, and ample parking. The beer garden offers a great space for to take in the view with picnic benches and covered seating areas. Adjoining former cottages provide additional storage or the potential for expansion. Previously run as a family business since 2017, the pub had attracted walkers and cyclists from the nearby Tarka Trail, alongside regular customers and event-driven trade. There is further potential for development, subject to planning permissions.
