The inn was originally a 'Change Coaching House', providing a change of horses for coaches and carriages on the old turnpike road, where food and a bed for the night was also available. It has been recently fully refurbished and today it is more of an eatery than a pub, with a lounge bar area. The internal dining areas lead through to a dining conservatory and out to a tabled terrace at the side. Booking is recommended for dining inside. Bed and breakfast is available. Also, there is a licensed caravan touring park at the rear of the premises beside the River Lemon which will open soon.
