Award winning pub is a former dower's house. Note the pub sign is different on either side: one bears a contrived Clytha Arms, the other a Swan, the name of the pub whose licence it took over when the latter collapsed into the nearby River Usk. A range of ciders and/or Perry's are mainly sourced from local producers. The interior is perhaps what many people’s vision of what a country inn should look like. There is a pleasant bar with a fireplace and traditional pub games where bar snacks may be savoured; a small charming lounge with a high back settle with another fireplace; and a cosy dining room that leads to a small function room (the “Cricketers Room”). Booking is advisable for meals as space is limited. No bar snacks available on Saturday night or Sunday lunchtime. Top class accommodation and a big outdoor area with camping available for big occasions such as the Welsh Cider festival held every May, a Beer 'n' Cheese festival in August and a German Oktoberfest. In recent years, January has been the month of a winter ale and dumplings festival.
