We have been on holiday in Whitecroft for the last 2 years and have always enjoyed the food, ales and the company at the Miners Arms. In fact this year, because it is such a lovely friendly pub, we are going to stay at the cottage in the grounds and we are really looking forward to it. The fact that we have 2 dogs who are both welcome, will really make it a memorable holiday.
