A grade II listed coaching inn which was established in the 18th century. The unusual name was probably part derived from a drinking vessel called a 'cann' and during the 18th century the inn was then used as a 'post office' namely a place for changing horses along the Banw valley. Situated on a bend in the centre of this small village the pub has retained it's original layout of four rooms and has barely changed over the last 40 years. The rooms are connected by a tiled passage. There is a central bar which serves the main bar, reception room and the passage. At the end of the passageway there is a small boarded room and beyond that a pool room. The pub has two dining rooms which can serve up to 90 people. In the summer the place comes alive with the influx of tourists on the way to the Welsh coast and in the winter months it reverts back to a traditional country local. Has recently expanded with up to four real ales in the summer with Purple Moose featuring regularly. Will drop back to two in the winter.
