Step back in time - and experience the best live music Closed over a 15 year period, the hotel has been slowly renovated, refurbished, and resurrected by its current owners, Ken Parfrey and Jackie Airey since 1997. The business re-opened on Good Friday, April 2009. Comfortable, cosy, eclectic and eccentric inside, the choice between the front bar, parlour bar, main dining room, private dining room or laid back lounge/library is sometimes just too hard to make, especially since each of these offers a crackling fireplace. The two acres of rambling garden in which to wander includes mature trees, lawns, perennial beds, roses and winding paths. There are plenty of places to sit and relax, listen to the birds, or gaze off into space. LUNCH & DINNER ON FRI, SAT & SUN. WOOD FIRED PIZZAS & FILM ON TUE NIGHTS.
