Historic 250-year-old English inn with haunted character and themed rooms
History & Character
The Ivy House is a traditional English inn that has operated for over 250 years. The building retains original features such as horse brasses and historic prints, and guests report encounters with two resident ghosts. Each guest room is individually themed, with the 'Oriental' room offering a distinctively decorated interior.
Dining Experience
The on-site restaurant serves British cuisine prepared fresh on the premises, with lunch and dinner menus that change seasonally. Breakfast includes a full English or Irish cooked-to-order meal, plus vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options. The bar offers a rotating selection of real ales and locally sourced craft beers.
Entertainment & Community
The inn hosts registered live music events every Friday night, featuring different singers, and holds regular Open Mic Nights that draw local talent. A 10% service charge is added to all food and drink bills. The pub garden has a vine-covered patio area that provides shelter during rain.
Family & Pet-Friendly Stays
Families are welcome with baby changing facilities and a children's menu available in the restaurant. The hotel allows dogs to stay in designated rooms, and the large garden provides outdoor space for pets. The rooms include a mini fridge stocked with fresh milk, and a small cow teddy placed on the bed as a welcome touch.
Location & Activities
The inn is situated in Chalfont St Giles, 17 km from the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London and 23 km from Windsor Castle. Guests can take advantage of nearby hiking trails across the Misbourne Valley, and Harewood Downs Golf Club is less than 5 minutes away. Free private parking is available on site, and the A413 provides direct road links to Gerrards Cross and Beaconsfield stations.
