The Horseshoe Inn Marcross in The Vale of Glamorgan

We call in to the Shoes when ever we can. Great pup that serves great Beer and great food, We always have a warm welcome and the staff are always nice. Lovely big Beer garden for children and dogs are welcome in the Beer garden.

This pub was recommended by a friend, and it did not disappoint. We enjoyed so much we went back again. Staff and customer service was excellent. The menu offered a nice variety, and the quality was excellent. Our food was delicious & the portions were plentiful.Due to weather, we were unable to take advantage of the beautiful pub garden, but look forward to it on future visits.Definitely felt at ease as great attention was paid to covid regulations. Spacious car park. Highly recommended!

Having eaten here a lot over the last few years, we were incredibly disappointed. You know it's going to end badly when you over hear the chef say to the waitress with your order that he will do it 'depending on what it is'. Chef ...sorry cook...dressed in jeans and tshirt as was waiting staff...leggings and a hoodie. Just ordered a sharing combo....and as if punishment for ordering fried food it truly was terrible.Sharing platter yet only 1 bries, 1 pepper and 1 pakora with the bulk made up of low cost wedges and onion rings. It's a sharing platter...at least give 2 of everything!Waitress didn't seem to get our issues just saying 'that's the portion'. Cook sent out another go....yet again 1 brie, 1 pepper, 1 pakora! I've managed pubs and I'd have sent several of each if I'd have had this complaint £11.95 total RIP off. 1230 on a Sunday and place was empty and I'm not surprised.Sadly another place we uses to love that has gone to the dogs

A quick stop while exploring the coast. The large beer garden is ideal for social distancing, scattered tables under gazebos and dog friendly. It has the largest fire-pit I've ever seen which I assume is used in the evenings to keep the customers warm.It's a nice old country pub. Great ale. Good coffee. We shared a ploughman's baguette which was very good value and served with the most amazing ?triple cooked? chips.The only thing that needs work; a slightly sullen young lad who is waiting could do with some additional training.Our decision to eat at this establishment was informed by the displayed food hygiene rating of 4/5 (Good).

My partner and a friend walked from Llantwit Major to the lighthouse last weekend and after a couple of hours of wandering we decided we wanted some food and found this beauty on google maps. We had no idea if it was serving food or even open given the current climate, but we were so glad it was! Great choice of food and some nice welsh beers on tap. I had the lasagne (highly recommend) and the other two had the steak and ale pie (full to the brim with tender meat). Definitely will return here when walking around the area again.

Despite the current situation, Tina and Guy are cooking and delivering takeaways twice a week. Food is delicious, hot and delivered to the door. Thank you

Having a table for 7 people available to be booked at 15:30 on a Saturday for 18:30 the same evening should have started the warning bells.No atmosphere or background music. Had to go to bar to order drinks and food.Mediocre food arrived. Requested French Mustard as an accompaniment to the steak but was told they didnt have any. Peas were cold.Went to the bar to pay the bill only to be told they dont accept payment by credit card, only cash or debit card. I should have been informed of this on arrival.On leaving the pub the car park at the far end is very dark and could do with some lighting.Unfortunately wont be returning.

We live three miles away and this is our 1st choice for decent pub grub. We are about to go there again this evening. My wife is vegetarian (I'm normal, ha ha). We are fortunate to be spoilt for choice throughout the Vale, with several very nice gastropubs to choose from. We genuinely enjoy The Horseshoe. We've been going there for years and have never had a bad meal, we also take many of our friends there who live further afield. It's warm and cosy and has a welcoming ambience. I've read one or two dissatisfied reviews but I remain convinced these were posted by professional complainers. You can't please everyone all the time.

Probably the most unfriendliest pub I have been to. The service was diabolical with rude untrained staff. My food was brought to the table and all the chips fell off the plate onto the table which by the way was not even cleaned after the last customers. The waiter just walked away and left my food all over the table with no apology. I asked him to get more chips. He then with his hands picked up the chips and put them on my plate expecting me to eat them. I could not believe it. I then asked him to get clean chips. He walked away and was back within seconds with I assume the same chips. No apology. No table manners. Absolutely shocking.

Location and feel of pub is great, although it could do with some redecoration. Food however, wow....its been a while since Ive had food that bad in a pub. I had the peppercorn chicken, sauce was greasy and the chicken dry. My wife had a sweet potato bake which was just mush. Chips greasy, even the ketchup was a happy shopper special and tasted awful...I wouldnt of minded too much if it wasnt 13 quid for a main!! Such a shame that a pub in a great location like that has such poor food! Would never eat there again, but would return for a pint!

We have been regular holiday makers to Marcross since 2004 and have meals regularly at the The Horseshoe during the week. We have always had such a warm welcome, lovely meals and a great time with friends and family.

The portions were SMALL and the food was over microwaved and overpriced!!! Plus the bar staff could all do with a bath. Incredibly disappointing .... will NEVER return

The lunch was very nice, the food freshly cooked and well presented. The pub has a reasonable amount of parking though I would guess it can get full at popular times. Both our meals were nice and the right size for a lunch. One downer was the coffee, it was instant.

The pub is a nice old pub nice deco and clean, but the food was awful, RICH had a steak which was tender but peas were horrible been hanging round all day and the chips were horrible and greasy, they must have been re dipped to reheat them.I asked for chicken in white wine and mushroom sauce, sauce was disgusting don't know where the wine was and only 2 slices mushrooms on chicken., the sauce very greasy and that's all I could taste was garlic, it didn't say anything about garlic on menu. The service was diabolical will not be returning, should have known better when saw such a big menu, they should concentrate on a smaller menu and try to do that well

The food is reasonable pub grub, was served quickly, there's a good choice of drink and staff friendly. No faults from me :)

I was walking to the ladies toilets and recognised the difficulties that could arise in kitchen staff leaving with those heavy plates, potentially hitting anybody just behind the door from coming out of the ladies toilets. What a crazy place to have a toilet. Not only this, sitting on the loo I overheard what sounded like the landlady talking about her very own staff. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for them.

The Inn looks very stylish from the outside, but alogether, we were quite disappointed. The meal choice is good, but since you have to order snd pay at the bar, it gets quite disorganized. We had to wait 60 minutes for ordered meals. They tasted quite okay, but not extraordinary. The burger was very much overcooked, the salad did not have any dressing etc. I would try something else next time

Sunny Spring Day, Plenty of people looking for a lunch in the country, but unfortunately The Horseshoes Inn found it hard to cope.

Went for a drive, noticed the pub and decided to stop for lunch. What a lovely pub! Had two small toddlers with us and were kept entertained. Couldn't fault the food and reasonable price. Will definitely come back again.

Arrived at pub and very quiet as normally only ever been on a Saturday but young girl working on the bar was very miserable and this didn’t give the place a welcoming atmosphere. Food was OK but not as good as the Plough & Harrow for the quality. Burgers were alright but tasted like they were frozen. Also, the beef and ale pie was accompanied by a grilled tomato which an odd accompaniment and would have been better suited being served with a boat of gravy.

We went as a large family and ordered 4 lasagnas for the children, none eaten as over cooked and tough.

Had lunch with friends today, One ordered home made chicken curry 50/50. Didn't have to wait long for food to arrive. However, the chicken curry was very dry and when we asked for extra curry sauce we were told they didn't have any! Found this quite odd. If you have curry on the menu then surely you have the sauce to go with it. If not, then don't make the curry so dry when cooking it.

Popped in for a quick drink after a evening beach visit...most miserable bar man, I think he was the landlord, no chat at all, no please, thank you...nothing. Then to top it all he tried to short change me by £10 !!.

Called in for lunch with 3 children following a half term visit to Nash Point. Landlady was exceptionally friendly and accommodated my (picky eater) daughter's request for meal which was not on menu. My son and his friend devoured their meals. I had the chilli duck salad as a main course and it was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and we will definitely return if we are in area again. Great food, great value and great service :-)

Visited here with my young son. I have eaten here before and was just as pleased this time around as previous visits. We ordered a chicken curry and a lasagne. We didn't have to wait too long and the food was a good portion size.

We arrived here on Bank holiday weekend. After waiting over two hours for food, when we asked where the food was we were met with shouting and extremely rude behaviour. Basic food etiquette ignored. Others who arrived later than us were served before us. Lots of very hangry kids :( not on at all. Avoid.

As a large party of 20 local people we were treated to terrible service on bank holiday Monday. We are frequent visitors here and on a sunny bank holiday expected a delay in service. However after waiting 2.5 hours for our food order with 10 children and daring to ask where our order was!! We were treated with really aggressive behaviour telling us it was our fault!! On asking to speak to the landlady (lady she wasn't) I was met with further abuse. The landlord was more polite and gave us 10% off the bill reluctantly after my persistence. Really disappointed when an apology in the first instance would have gone a long way. Avoid for food on a bank holiday.. and to be fair avothe landlady

Average food at best. Poor customer service and long waits for food. Hungry kids and no explanation or a smile in site

I am not a fan of bad reviews I prefer to be constructive so here I go...

Booked a table for 8. Everyone enjoyed their meals in the warm and cosy pub. A lovely traditional pub with true pub grub.

Camera Club outing we called in to this delightful pub have been before but several yrs ago. the pub served real ale and the choice of vegetarian meals on offer was mind blowing. The food was very tasty and 17 of us were looked after by staff. Next time we are in the area we will call in. We are out every friday in a different location. I did notice there are no dogs allowed. Which a few of us are dog owners.

This was my first visit to “The Horseshoe INN” ; it was recommended by one of my working colleagues for our business lunch.

This was our first trip and will certainly not be our last. We called in on the off-chance and managed to get a table which was lucky as it was almost fully booked. The service was friendly, polite and efficient and both the lamb and beef were superb. We both had desserts which were also lovely and good value for money. Good selection of ales and ciders too. Overall, great visit and we’ll be back.

Called in on the off chance on a Bank Holiday. The pub is an old building set against the backdrop of a field and small brook. Chickens and other small birds roam freely around the area. The interior decor is a blend of contemporary and...

An impromptu “pit stop” proved most satisfying after deciding on having lunch. This is a small but very welcoming country...

called in here as we passed it most days and thought we would call in one day glad we did the service was great the landlady very friendly food was excellent

This has now become a favourite of ours, either for a family meal out or for Sunday lunch.

Discovered this gem on a family trip out on our holiday in Wales. The staff were so friendly and the food was reasonably priced. Honestly the food was unbelievably good, so tasty!!

Mushroom Stroganoff was not a mushroom stroganoff - just badly cooked mushrooms in a disgusting cream mess. The Glamorgan sausages were actually just Vegeterian sausages not Glamorgan sausages at all, a point the staff couldn't understand!

My girls and I have been to this pub several times and the service has been warm and efficient . Great food and Sunday lunch plentiful. Lovely atmosphere and tastefully furnished . A proper pub !

We had a quick pint here on Saturday, friendly service and great range of drinks. Lovely garden. The food all looked good, although didn't try it. No dogs inside, which is why we went elsewhere for dinner.

Went for a walk from The horseshoe Inn turn right and about 800 yards turn left off the road right up along the marked public pathway (feels like you are into someone's back garden).....and then you are on your way to a great walk. Just follow the marked signs across the various fields. Then you go down the forest and come through the woods to St Donats church..... which you can have a look around ....otherwise turn left up the hill and carry on out of the the 'entrance' for St Donat's and then turn right along the main road for approx 1000 yards and then take the kissing gate on your right into the playing fields keeping on the righ of the playing field and progress on the right down towards the coastline but at the kissing gate on the right approx 700 yards down the fieldd take the path into the woods. Around to St Donat's and part of the coastal walk and then back in via the lighthouse across to the car park by the lighthouse and then up to the pub.

After leaving a nearby pub last night due to the curtness of the staff, we came here instead. Friendly welcome, good beer and a beef and ale pie to die for. I would've been just has happy with a jug of the luscious gravy. Mmmm.

Four of us called on here spec for a mid day meal after exploring Nash Point Lighthouse. We were warmly welcomed and shown to our seats and given an interesting and varied menu. Our food was brought to our table after about a 15 minute wait. I have to say that all of us said that the food was excellent. We would have no hesitation in recommending this delightful little pub for a really good value, excellent quality meal!

We were visiting the area and wanted to eat out on a Sunday. Most pubs and restaurants n the area were either closed or stopped serving around 3pm. Fortunately the Horseshoe Inn served food until 8pm and we were pleasantly surprised how good the food was considering the menu was extensive so presumably the food was cook chilled. Good selection of beers and ciders too.

called in here on sunday afternoon was nice day but windy so sat outside front door was busy inside service was ok had wait bit but not to long drinks seemed bit expensive thou

We have been coming here for around ten years, we love the location, close to Nash point, food is always very good. I am a real ale fan and there is always a good local beer on. There is a lovely beer garden which is fab when the sun is out, very family friendly too.

Very disappointed. The bar was staffed by a young man who we assumed was new and on his first day. He did tell us he had actually been there for five years which was surprising. He didn't seem to know where anything was and had no idea what was on the menu. We were a group of four adults and one child and there was one other couple there at the same time so not exactly a lunch time rush. We ordered one mixed combo starter, a fish dish, two sausages, a children's sausage meal and a duck. The combo for two people sounded delicious...scampi...calamari....jalapeño peppers...pakora...onion rings and potato wedges.... fried Brie. It arrived..... and had lots of wedges and mushrooms, one calamari ring, one piece of Brie, one pepper, no pakora but there were mushrooms. Now common sense tells me that if it's to share you have two of everything. Luckily I was sharing with my daughter and we cut the Brie, calamari and pepper in half. The sauce on the duck was supposed to be cherry brandy and was in all fairness red....but it didn't really have any taste and could have been anything. The two main adult sausage meals were served with charred sausages....,they were literally black. We did mention the black sausages and the landlady I assume did give us a refund of one of the meals. The kids meal was ok and so was the fish and chips. I have to sadly report that the toilets were the worst I visited in ten days. The toilet itself was clean but the floor, skirting boards and door were very dirty. The door doesn't look like the paintwork has been wiped down in fifty years. You could probably have scraped the dirt off with a knife. Really felt like I wanted some antiseptic hand wash. I guess if it's your local you might learn to love it but not somewhere that I would go back to.

My wife and I called at this Inn at lunchtime on a Tuesday recently.We received a nice welcome from the landlady and sat down for lunch at a window seat. The premises were clean and tidy . We ordered our meals and they were served quite swiftly and were of lovely quality.I had plaice with chips and peas and it was one of the best I have tasted.My wife had a vegetarian option and it too was really well cooked and presented. We will definitely call again one day

What can I say. Lost count of the number of times I've visited. The choice is fantastic. The atmosphere the same. Hot summer day, wet gloomy winter day the welcome is all the same.

Mothers day we were lucky to book last minute table for three myself partner and elderly mother . We had a warm welcome and a very large choice of menu .service and food was excellent. Lovely warm atmosphere. Will be back again .

We went for a Mothers Day meal and we're lucky to get a table. It was very busy but the food was very good and we got a warm welcome.Thiis is a popular pub and the car park is small, worth arriving early to park.ThIs was our first visit and we were impressed,will return....

I visit here with friends once a fortnight for lunch. It has a huge menu of excellent quality food and generous portions. The landlord and bar staff are all very friendly and the service is good. There is parking and a nice walk to the beach. Well worth a visit.

Found this place on a whim while taking a walk down and around Nash Point. Would highly recommend this place and would stray over this way on a day out to eat here again for sure!! Bar staff we're really friendly and the food was amazing quality at good prices! Large selection of good Ciders & Ales available too.

Lovely pub with great atmosphere,good beers with plenty of choices,good menu with very good food, Sunday lunch is particularly good,big outside beer garden which is safe for children

Called in today for lunch with husband and friend. We all ordered cod and chips and as it was a cold day my friend and I ordered a Latte. When the coffee came it was served in ice cold cups, felt like they had just been taken out of the fridge! Defeats the object really of having a hot drink.Food arrived quite quickly, ample portions and well presented, the only problem was, just like the coffee cups, the plates were stone cold. Mentioned this to the waitress and politely suggested that maybe hot food should be served on a warm/hot plate. Needless to say we all enjoyed our food, the chips are to die for.

Really extensive menu with friendly staff. Also good for vegetarians. Lovely old pub with a fire in the winter and a great beer garden in the summer.

We came across the Inn after coming to the end of a cold and wet walk on the coast path so it was very much a warm and welcoming break. We were a party of 6 which included two small children and they accommodated our needs very well indeed. Service was very good and the lunches we had were hot and excellent quantity and quality. Plenty of parking and easy to find.

Stopped en route for coffee and pudding.Very warm and inviting. Staff pleasant and attentive. Menu choice impressive for both main and desserts.Chose treacle sponge/custard which was v tasty and good size portion ( split with other half)

Our usual pub wasn't serving food so we had to find an alternative. This was our first time, after a recommendation. Eating at The Horseshoes was like having lunch in your front room. Lots of character, good food and a varied menu of home cooked foods. Service was quick and the waiting staff friendly.

Stopped here to enjoy some lunch at the tail end of one of the Vale Trail walks. Excellent food at a fair price. Nice welcoming, warm pub.

We stopped here for a late lunch having visited the nearby lighthouse and beach at Nash Point. Great choice, tasty home cooked food and fab service. The desserts were amazingly huge and excellent value. Lovely atmosphere! It was very busy with locals and visitors alike but service was excellent. Would definitely visit again if in the area. Well done to all at the Horseshoe!

Went out last night & visited a place that I hadn't been to for years, the staff were lovely & the Landlord & Lady were very engaging & friendly (a fellow reviewer implied otherwise & I am shocked at that review!) Had a lovely meal, my daughters enjoyed their time of playing old fashioned board games sat by a welcoming fire. If we lived nearer, I would have to say that this lovely little pub would be our local! Amazing decor & just loved the time that we spent there!The pub filled up during the evening (we had arrived at 17:40) & the atmosphere was superb, lots of regulars & such a welcoming place! Hope to be going there again soon!

Sampled their Lovely home made soup when breaking for lunch during a recent coastal path walk. Great real,ale selection on offer. Good service from barstaff. Friendly and attentive.

Had a lovely walk along Nash pony followed by lunch at the Horseshoe inn. Walk was beautiful, scenery is breathtaking.Pub is friendly but old fashioned. Meals are generous, tasty and hot. Well worth a visit. Quick service. Lunch only until 2.30.

The most offputing thing about this place is the grumpy attitude of the landlord. While the food I had was alright, it took a very long time in arriving, some of my friends had an hour's wait and had to send it back as it was unedible. They have a tiny kitchen for the amount of covers they have. It's a shame as the location is great with a spacious beer garden.

We've had a few Sunday lunches there now and not one has disappointed. The meals are a decent size, the meat served is properly carved not wafer thin like it's just come out of a packet and the veg is beautifully cooked. You can't take dogs in there but they have a huge garden with tables well spaced so people are not sat on top of each other. The staff are lovely and nothing is too much trouble. The Horseshoes is a definite favourite, well done!!!

Lovely building with outdoor eating area with a fire pit (not sure if it's in use) and a bench swing. Downstairs and upstairs seating. You order at the bar and service is fairly quick. Cheese and onion freebies at the bar were a definite winner after a long hike here from Llantwit Major today (would recommend the walk, it's about 8km)Food prep was very very slow. Which is fine because the atmosphere was quite nice, but after a long hike we really noticed it. It wasn't too busy for a Sunday, but it did take a very long time. Food was too a high standard (not too much, not too little, perfectly presented) with some less-expected fancy specials if you fancy something more special than "pub grub". Stake and Ale pie was great, there are even vegan options too. No table service but the one plus side of that is that nobody bothers you halfway through asking if your meals are okay.My main gripe (aside from slow cooking) was the waitress (long blonde hair). She was really moody and slammed plates on the table and rushed off as quick as she could, spilling some bits. Not sure if she was having a bad day, but it ruined it a bit for us.I would visit again, it's a good pit-stop along the coastal path. No issues whatsoever with the food or venue, just the service at times.

We liked this pub, none asked for payment till we'd finished, the real ales were good, the food was fine and the political duscussiobs post brexit very stimulating. Much more welcoming and friendly than the plough and Harrow and lovely walk nearby.

This is a good place to eat, although hubby's fish wasn't too good but couldn't fault the steak, been here a few times and hubby said it was the worse he's had in there but usually very good

We were looking for somewhere family friendly but not a 'chain' pub and came across here. We booked a table for 6pm (booking recommended - especially for 7pm onwards) and it was quiet when we arrived. The pub is nice and traditional. Lovely fire, extensive menu, good beer, friendly staff. Our waiter was a young lad who was faultless. Food was okay, however my burger was a little on the 'herby' side and my husband a little disappointed with this pie as it was more beef stew with a puff pastry hat! Despite this the ambiance and location made up for this and we had such a lovely visit. We would recommend and come back again.

My husband choose this pub after previously going there for mid week lunch. Our Sunday roast was fabulous & our son went for a steak which he said was very nice, the garlic sauce in the mussel starter was to die for. Will definately visit again, nice friendly atmosphere in a small village pub.

Stopped off for a meal on a Sunday night when some other pubs were not serving food. The meal was very nice and food well cooked. A great deal of choice with a large selection of meals on the specials board. The waiter and waitress were very good but the men behind the bar were a little stressed and appeared not that friendly. The food and the atmosphere was good

When we arrived the pub was full to bursting but it was lovely weather so we were able to sit outside. We ordered two main meals, fish and chips and the sweet chilli chicken which came with rice and chips. Both were good sized portions and hit the spot. We had waited a while but as the place was so busy we knew this would be the case so weren't fussed. All in all worth the money and would go back.

The village held a Royal Tea Party which was hosted by Tina and Guy, at the Shoes this weekend. They very generously supplied sandwiches, tea and sausage rolls despite still being open to the public. Unfortunately it poured with rain but that didn't stop over 100 local people enjoying the fun and tea party.Local people supplied the cakes and activities which all helped to raise funds for the village church's roof repairs. This couldn't have taken place without the generosity and huge help of Tina, the landlady.

excellent service food very good nice clean restaurant /pub friendly staff. Always seem to get a table even when they are really busy. Nice wood burning fire.

It was a friend 's birthday weekend, the ale was good and the food was very good value.we went every night and did make some friends. The menu us big and cater for all.

The pub is very nice inside and the garden is surrounded with wildlife, the meals and the drinks are very expensive. The young lads that served us were very courteous and polite, but the staff that were cooking were quite unprofessional swearing as they went about their work. My wife ordered a Baguette as this would normally be enough for lunch and costing £6.40. It was most disappointing with the baguette being the size of a hot dog roll with 15 chips, certainly not value for money. When the young lad cleared the plate my wife mentioned it to him and he told his manager. she sent him back saying that's the price and that's the portion size. We told him we carry out reviews. The manager eventually came storming out and was very rude to us and told us to carry out as many reviews as we like and the ordered us to leave.This is the first time I've ever been told to leave a pub in 40+ years.I should have realised, the Plough and Harrow was packed and there was only 3 people in the Three horseshoes. You live and learn, and should watch what the locals go.

Tried this pub after a very long walk and 5 hungry walkers. Very good menu and specials board with plenty of vegetarian options. Opted for a vegetarian curry, 3 beef curry and the haddock. Great quality food and portions and the pub itself is a pretty, traditional place would definitely visit again and would recommend the food and service.

Fri and Sat used to be no go, but local college has banned students from Horseshoe now. Enjoyed great food, great real ales and great atmosphere. One of the top three pubs in the Vale of Glamorgan.

We were looking for somewhere family friendly but not a 'chain' pub and came across here. We booked a table for 6pm (booking recommended - especially for 7pm onwards) and it was quiet when we arrived. The pub is nice and traditional. Lovely fire, extensive menu, good beer, friendly staff. Our waiter was a young lad who was faultless. Food was okay, however my burger was a little on the 'herby' side and my husband a little disappointed with this pie as it was more beef stew with a puff pastry hat! Despite this the ambiance and location made up for this and we had such a lovely visit. We would recommend and come back again.

Came here Easter Weekend (Saturday). We were at the Plough but due to the long wait decided to make the short walk to the Horseshoe for food. We sat outside and the pub was not very busy. We ordered 2 cheeseburgers. After an hour we enquired to where our food was but gave no reason as to why it hadnt arrived. When it did arrive we asked for additional sauces but the waiter did not return. The food was poor and cheap quality. I have eaten here previously which was to a much higher standard. We left disappointed at the service and the quality of the food. I will not be frequenting this establishment again, will be staying at the Plough in future.

This is an excellent establishment for drinks and food and it has a wide selection of hot and cold dishes available, often with specials highlighted on the board. Used by me and my family occasionally, the inn has never disappointed us and food is great and with real ales available, makes a fine last-minute venue for luncheon. The proximity of Nash Point lighthouse and cliff car park is also an attraction and only about a mile from the Horseshoe Inn but the lighthouse is only open to the public at certain times but a coastal footpath is available and passes through the lighthouse grounds. During the colder weather, two wood-burning stoves are in use which makes the inn a little historic. The inn is also on the 303 Barry-Bridgend 'bus route which has an hourly service so if you don't drive the inn can be visited using public transport. A beer garden is available for better weather visits.

Called in here after a long, blustery walk and found a lovely warm welcome in this cosy traditional pub. Lots of choice on the menu - I had the sweet potato and parsnip bake, someone else had ham, egg and chips, another friend had battered fish and chips. All really good, chips perfect, crisp on outside fluffy on inside. Burger disappointing and slightly strange tasting. Great to have Taffy Apples on draught. Will definitely return and recommend.

This is a lovely pub which serves excellent food from a good range of dishes written on the board. There is a small bar and a lounge. Parking is good and the staff friendly and helpful. In winter, it has a fire and lunch or evening meal are equally good.

Nice typical cosy country pub, great log/coal fire, parking no problem. We all had a lovely lunch which was most enjoyable, staff excellent. Will definitely return.

My girlfriend and I went for a meal here as she had never been before. Fantastic pie and Mussels. We will certainly be back!

I had the friendly. While waiting I chose from their choice of beers experience of my car breaking down at Nash point and there is little or no mobile phone coverage in the area. I walked in a storm to the Horseshoes to ask to use the phone. No problem I was told and the phone handed over.So while i was waiting for breakdown service to arrive I chose one of their beers which was excellent.While not eating I observed others meals and they all looked fresh and tasty.I will visit this pub again and enjoy their food and warm fire.

We should have seen the writing on the wall (quite literally) as we arrived. They still had signage up advertising New Years Eve. we arrived on January 24th!The pub was fairly quiet and in their defence, inside it's actually a lovely, cosy and well decorated country pub.The service left a lot to be desired as we were not offered any menu's and had to share one between three of us, and then go and find somebody that could tell us if they were actually serving sunday lunch, which was not on their menu.The menu itself must have had at least 40 different dishes, with another specials board containing around 20 dishes. This is a big red flag for a kick off. How does a small country pub have over 60 dishes on offer without the majority of it being frozen and not fresh?Our three roast dinners arrived, with a 5 minute wait for the separate veg.The Beef was so overcooked it flaked apart and tasted like old leather, the roast potatoes were burned black and the veg was an assortment of overcooked and unseasoned swede, yellow, overcooked cabbage and carrots.The gravy was good and the Yorkshires freshly made but it couldn't make up for the rest of the plate which was bordering on inedible.To top this off, in true comedy style, when I asked for english mustard a small ramekin with less than a teaspoon of mustard in the bottom was presented to me, and as I looked down on the measly morsel the server warned me to "be careful of the mustard as its very hot" Laugh out loud moment right there! On the positive side, as I said, it's a nice interior and the Ale was also good, just avoid the food.

Nice cosy pub with a large food menu, had dinner here twice when on a long weekend break The chips are delicious lovely fires not to busy

Well worth a visit superb sunday lunch, sadly as so popular we had a small table near the entrance rather than the large room with the roaring fire hence the four star rating. Sunday lunch came with beautifully prepared side dishes and lots of veggie options if needed. We will definitely return.

Great atmosphere only surpassed by the home cooked food. Great beer too...!Sadly, walking tours are going to the Plough & Harrow down the road due to that pub's past reputation despite that the Plough is now very, very badly run and serves frozen food.

Small friendly pub, with a few nice beers. Great home cooked food with some veggie options. Check lunchtime hours. Fish and Chip take out too!

Went for birthday meal we all enjoyed hubbie had the curry and thought it was good. The others had chicken and beef pies they enjoyed too.I had an issue with the cajuan chicken not because there was anything wrong but 4 tiny new potatoes small salad and a small chicken breast should not cost 10.95 come on really????.The others felt the chips were good but small portion.Only other negative was the toilet was in need of updating and a good clean.Probably will not go back as there are other places with better food in the area.

Stopped here before going to llandow for some karting. Food was average. Pub was a nice country style pub in a remote location. My only gripe was the menu was not really suitable for lunch eating. No jackets or sandwiches etc

Visited today with my partner. Lots of choice on the menu, I had lasagne and my partner had rib eye steak. The lasagne was pleasant, it was presented lovely and quite tasty. The steak was cooked well done when my partner had requested medium to well. All together a nice meal but we weren't blown away
