4-star 15th-century inn with AA Rosette dining in Great Missenden

Dining

The Nags Head's kitchen holds an AA Rosette for its Anglo-French fusion cuisine made with locally sourced ingredients. Guests can choose from an extensive specialty gin menu not found in similar hotels, or sample crafted ales from local micro-breweries. Private events can be hosted in the hotel's unique tipi dining space, offering an outdoor dining experience in the garden.

Rooms

Each of the 6 en-suite rooms is individually designed, some featuring original wood beams from the 15th-century structure. Rooms look out onto the surrounding countryside or the hotel's own large garden. All rooms include modern fittings such as a tea/coffee maker and a private bathroom.

Location

The hotel sits a 10-minute walk from the centre of Great Missenden, home to the Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre. Central London is 40 minutes away by train or tube from nearby Amersham station. The Ridgeway National Trail and Bekonscot Model Village are within easy reach for day trips.

Activities & Entertainment

The hotel hosts frequent live entertainment events, including seasonal gatherings and themed evenings. On-site activities include cycling and clay shooting lessons for guests. A children's playground and a darts board add to the on-site leisure options.

Pet-Friendly & Family

The hotel offers pet-friendly accommodations, allowing dogs to stay with their owners in the garden-set rooms. Families can order kids' meals from the restaurant menu, and the hotel provides a children's playground. The garden setting with outdoor furniture makes it easy for families and pet owners to relax outside.
