The restaurant serves a full English breakfast in the morning and offers a dinner menu in the evenings. Guests can also order from a bar menu that includes the acclaimed steak and ale pie.
Rooms & Accommodations
The hotel offers classic double rooms and superior doubles, with some rooms located in the main building and others in a separate gatehouse. Each room includes bathrobes and complimentary toiletries, along with loose leaf tea and freshly ground coffee. The superior double rooms are more spacious and feature views of the garden or the village street.
