Refurbished by new owner Tom Downing in 2024, this 18th-century village inn is a friendly local and dining pub with four bedrooms above, and five spacious, accessible annexe rooms opening onto the garden. All have a pleasing, uncluttered feel, a muted palette, a coffee machine, Roberts radio, milk in a mini-fridge. Dogs and children are welcome and the staff are friendly and helpful. The menu in two beamed dining rooms mixes pub classics (fish and chips, burgers) with dishes such as cauliflower three ways, chicken schnitzel with dressed leaves, or slow-cooked beef cheeks. After breakfast, you might take the Thames Path to visit William Morris’s Kelmscott Manor.
