Outdoors: A private garden which includes a paved patio invites you to enjoy the sunshine and dine alfresco with our traditional Cotswold stone barbecue. The local butcher is a short walk away and is excellent. Be careful if you buy any of the 'California reaper scotch eggs' though! They are super hot.
