Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
The founding venture for the Chestnut Group, this Victorian former boozer is a local hub and dining pub with rooms in stud-farm country close to Newmarket. Chic bedrooms range from ‘small’ Folly with free-standing bath to luxury Warren with stone double-ended bath and walk-in shower. Some overlook a medieval packhorse bridge. Four coach-house rooms with courtyard access, and eight new Scandi-style rooms in a purpose-built annexe are dog friendly. You can order a beer and snacks by the log burner in the panelled bar, while, in the restaurant, classics are offered alongside dishes such as crispy smoked haddock, whipped pea purée, pea salad, caviar and seaweed chips. Tuesday steak nights and fish Fridays feature regularly.
