The Harrington Arms is actually part of a working farm and thus is a rare example of a once common way of making a livelihood - combining public house keeping with other activities. The main part of the pub is a three-storey red brick building of the late C17 or early C18 which has been added to in the C19. The public areas lead off a through corridor and are located in both the original and added parts. The servery is right of the entrance in a narrow room which leads on to two further public areas. The tap room (pictured here) has simple seating and a quarry tile floor. There are no frills here - just an honest country pub of the type that was once common but now so rare.
