Great food here. They use local, seasonal produce, a little imagination and it's reasonably priced for the quality. On summer days there's a beautiful garden overlooking the lake and in the winter, a snug open fire.

Parks & Nature
Chawton Woods (not The Bourne Woods as it says in the title, but it wouldn't allow me to put Chawton Woods in! The Bourne Woods are in Farnham) is about ¼ mile up the road from us and offers a wealth of walking and cycling tracks. If you're with us for a few days for work, it's a great way to wind down at the end of the day.
