Been there a couple of times and can't stand the place and didn't like the owner (ex pongo, sorry)

It's basically just a tacky, (below) average village pub, done out to attract ex RAF guys. Lots of so-called Lancaster and 617 Sqn stuff, photos etc etc. on the wall and dotted around the place.

If you haven't got a car - forget it! There is one bus a month to Scampton village, and thats usually canx! You could bike it from the base, but it's a ba$tard getting back up that hill after a few wets. Walking is probably not an option, unless you're a jockstrapper type.

As ZH875 points out, I can't believe the turnover for this year! Either the prices have gone through the roof or maybe he's got some 'entertainment' on every night, and is bussing folks in.

£99k does seem cheap however, maybe its because of the short lease eh?

Not very good to be honest.
