Introduction:

Right on the official boundary of Bollington (the farm
across the road is in Rainow), this handsome stone building,
adorned in summer with luxuriant window boxes and hanging
baskets, houses a friendly and cosy award winning country
pub. The staff are chatty and cheerful. One of only two
free houses in Bollington and with an entry in the Good
Beer Guide. Regular winners of CAMRA awards, they have
been awarded Macclesfield & East Cheshire CAMRA Pub of
the Year 2010!
