Living Spaces

Designed around the social atmosphere of a private pub, the main living spaces flow seamlessly between cosy gathering spots and lively entertainment areas. Guests can relax in the 18th-century front snug with comfortable seating, unwind in the piano lounge, or serve drinks over the original bar. The heart of the venue is the open-plan dining and function room, which includes a dedicated games area equipped with a pool table, dartboard, retro arcade, and board game library, with bi-fold doors leading directly to the riverside terrace.

For a more peaceful setting, the connected cottage snug provides a flexible, self-contained living space away from the main hub. Featuring its own cosy lounge, secondary kitchen, and quiet living area, it serves as a tranquil escape for guests looking to unwind, a dedicated dressing suite for wedding parties, or a secondary prep space for event catering.

Kitchen & Dining

The modern, bespoke kitchen is fully equipped for large group catering, featuring premium NEFF appliances including triple ovens, twin induction hobs on a central island, two dishwashers, and extensive refrigeration. A separate stocked pantry provides all necessary cookware, crockery, and glassware, while a cozy breakfast nook with original pub pews offers a relaxed gathering spot for morning coffee.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the open-plan dining and function space features flexible table layouts that comfortably seat up to 40 guests. Set against the backdrop of the landscaped riverside garden with direct access through bi-fold doors, it provides a scenic setting for group meals, whether you choose to cook yourself or bring in outside caterers.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms

The venue sleeps up to 40 guests across 17 boutique-style bedrooms, all fitted with luxury Hypnos beds and mattresses. Room layouts are highly flexible, offering a tailored mix of king-size and twin configurations, with four rooms featuring optional single trundle beds for extra capacity.

Nine bedrooms feature private en-suites—including eight walk-in showers and a riverside room with a bath—while the remaining six share three spacious full bathrooms. For peace of mind and privacy, access to the entire first-floor sleeping quarters and cottage rooms is strictly managed via an electronic key fob system.

Gardens & Outdoor Space

The property features a landscaped riverside beer garden stretching along the banks of the Old River Ancholme. Complete with comfortable outdoor seating, covered dining spots, and its own private boat mooring, this peaceful terrace connects directly to the interior function area via large bi-fold doors for seamless indoor-outdoor hosting.

Tucked discreetly at the rear of the pub and accessed via a historic archway, a private courtyard provides free on-site parking for 16 to 20 vehicles. This sheltered area also serves as a convenient late-night gathering space, ensuring guests can continue socializing outdoors after the riverside terrace closes at 11:00 PM.
