Hello from our team at The Star

Steve and Niki would like to welcome you to The Star. A traditional family run Inn, dating back over 300 years. The Star is a beautiful country Pub/Restaurant/B&B, with open fires, and boasts a wonderfully large beer garden.
The Star has its own Aunt Sally Team. A traditional game played in pubs, by throwing timber batons at a wooden skittle (known as a doll or dolly).

We are in close proximity to many lovely places such as:
