My favourite pub in Wales. I love how they haven't tried to change itkeeping it the way it is which is cosy welcoming and always a joy to spend a few hours chatting or playing darts or pétanque. This kind of place is unique and rare now in South Wales and you know you will never be disappointed when you visit.

While out on a country walk on a hot day, we met a local resident who recommended we stop off at the Wheatsheaf for a drink. We took his advice and were delighted with the place. Very well-kept ales, prices reasonable, and a pleasant beer garden.

Amazing, always went out on a Saturday, from Llanenock Lodge with my brother. Today we went back out for first time in almost a yr of him leaving the place.so it was nice too go back and see the lady who owns the place, but she wasn't there, not too worry, just have to take another drive out there now we've the van to get my brother about such a lovely little pub, such friendly staff. The place is so beautiful and the surrounding area is so pretty. Everyone who lives around there is super friendly! I would absolutely love to have a little home out here! When I win the lottery.

This cosy little pub instantly teleports you back a few decades. Great vibes that are well worth a little detour if you're around. Sunny and very inviting beer garden. Great beers, but no food.
