Bedrooms

With only five bedrooms, The Horse & Groom feels more like a proper country inn than a hotel. Comfort is kept reassuringly straightforward. Bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, a TV, tea and coffee-making facilities and WiFi access. Choose from double and superior double rooms.

Food & Drink

The approach at the Horse and Groom is relaxed rather than overly formal. The menu puts a contemporary spin on familiar pub favourites, while breakfast is available for overnight guests. The bar has all the atmosphere you would want from a centuries-old inn, complete with flagstone flooring and an open fire. There is a selection of real ales and beers, so you can settle in for a pint by the fire or take your drinks outside in the summertime.
