AN INN WIN

A COUPLE swapped London for Britain's most remote pub - and say people travel thousands of miles to have a pint there.

Rachel Devine, 46 and wife Jhennia Leipert, 44, took over The Puffer Bar on Easdale - the smallest permanently inhabited island of the Inner Hebrides.

The island is home to just 60 people and has no roads.

The couple decided after lockdown to make the switch to the pub that a study recently called the UK's most remote.

They bought The Puffer from the previous owners who had it for 10 years.

Rachel said: "We have to take everything over on a small boat and then we have to use wheelbarrows to go around the island.
