Style

There's a relaxed, welcoming ambience. The bar and restaurant have low ceilings with dark beams, and artworks refelect the countryside location. We loved the wood burner for chillier nights and the cosy candelight in the evenings.

Service & Facilities

Staff pull out all the stops - you can take a tour of the kitchen garden and order packed lunches, or even chocolates, flowers and champagne. Enjoy the setting at a table by the river or in the pretty garden - or pick up a map for local walks.
