The Waie Inn (Waie Farm as it was then) was purchased in 1967 by Trevor & Jean Burrow and run as a farm in conjunction with their other family farm near Bow up until 1972, when they decided to diversify and utilise the existing farm buildings and convert them into living accommodation.

    This was done over a number of years, providing holiday cottages in addition to the Farmhouse B&B which Jean was providing as an additional income to the farming activities.

     A group of local tradesmen were employed, on a full time basis, covering all trades from carpenters, stonemasons, brickies, & painters/decorators.  Over a period of four years the holiday cottages expanded in number to eight units, all the conversions being done during the Autumn/winter months when other work was quiet.

     During 1976 the old Silage and Hay barn was the only building left to convert.  Several ideas were put onto paper and various plans drawn up, with the outcome being to convert the buildings into a Public House. This idea had several reactions in the local community, bringing forth considerable opposition from local residents worried about noise and extra traffic. The idea was put forward to planners and with support from many locals and friends, and a petition signed by a couple of hundred people helped the idea come to fruition.

    After a long hard slog ,  many hours of work and considerable expense, The Waie Inn was officially opened on 13th July 1980.

    Over the 25 years that the Waie has been open,  we have added on a few more facilities such as Indoor Heated swimming pool, Squash courts, Children's playground, fishing lakes and Caravan and camping area. In February 2001 a new extension (The Lantern Suite)  was opened  to make the functions room considerably larger upstairs and will give further facilities downstairs with new skittle alleys and larger bar area's.

    Disabled facilities have also been improved by way of means of access to most areas,  new disabled access toilets and also a wheelchair lift to the first floor functions room has been installed.

 July 2005 saw the installation of a 5 a side all weather football pitch, and its first tournament was played on the Sunday of our anniversary week which proved a very successful addition to the facilities on offer to the public.

Latest addition: April 2007 saw the opening of the purpose built Indoor Children's play barn and is proving a great asset to the venue.
