Dining

The on-site restaurant serves contemporary British dishes under head chef Ashley Walsh, winner of the Great British Menu 2025. The seasonal menu changes monthly and draws on locally sourced produce, including Cacklebean eggs from nearby chickens and venison from the surrounding countryside. The bar offers a curated selection of craft ales, including Hooky from Hook Norton brewery, alongside wines and cocktails.

Rooms

The 7 individually furnished rooms blend local antiques and vintage decor, with deluxe rooms featuring freestanding baths. Each en-suite room includes bathrobes, toiletries, and a daily delivery of fresh milk for tea and coffee. Dedicated dog-friendly rooms provide accommodation for guests traveling with pets.

Location

The inn sits on the village green in Kingham, a quiet Cotswolds village 8 km from the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Blenheim Palace is 24 km away, with Chipping Norton and Bourton-on-the-Water within easy reach. Guests walk to the Wild Rabbit restaurant in under 5 minutes or drive to Daylesford Organic farm in 5 minutes.

Pet-Friendly Policies

Dogs are welcome in dedicated dog-friendly rooms and in the pub's indoor and outdoor areas. Dog-friendly rooms are priced higher than standard rooms; the hotel does not supply beds or bowls. The surrounding village green and countryside walks provide direct routes for dog exercise.

A decent stay

great location clean room cute staff damp ceiling narrow toilet firm bed
The location was great, it was close to many main towns. The room was clean and it had a comfortable bed. The staff members were cute, and they are professional.
Our room was just awful, I think. There was serious damp and decay in the ceiling above the bath. The separate toilet was so narrow. I barely sit down.
