On days it is open, the sound does carry through to the house. Please don't book if you think this may be an issue or perhaps book during the week on the days it is closed. It is on the late side over fri/sat nights. (It can be as late as 1am these nights) Some nights are noisier than others depending on who is playing, holidays, balmy weather etc. Weeknight hours are; Monday and Tuesday closed .....A good time for a quiet stay. Wed 3-11pm Thursday 3-11pm Weekend hours are; Friday 3pm till 1am Sat 3 pm till 1am Sunday 3 pm till 10 pm Summer months are noisier as the beer garden is in full swing. There is usually Sunday afternoon live music in the garden and other such events. Later checkouts can be arranged for most stays to accommodate sleeping in. Please ask if you would like more time in the morning. If you don't ask, I'm there at your door at 10am. During the week the pub is usually pretty mild, especially during winter. It is a country venue after all in a small town. You may as well pop over, have a meal and join the fun. It's the coolest pub in town.
