**Temporally closed January 2024** Built originally as a shooting lodge the Black Lion was first licensed as a beer house in 1633. It was rebuilt in the late 19th century as a hotel. Lovely wooden beamed interior with low ceilings which is split into two rooms. The buildings are predominantly of stone construction and the upper storey is clad with traditional hung tiles. New landlords have recently taken over from the previous incumbents who were here for 25 years. Back in 2010 the Black Lion was set to become a care home but thankfully the plans fell through. The hotel is slowly being renovated and the landlord is keen to restore the original features back to the interior of the building. For lovers of traditional pub games, Devil among the tailors can be played here with a shove ha'penny board expected in the future. The bus stop is by the edge of the car park. Real ale was sadly discontinued in late 2023.
