17th century Inn opposite the parish church of All Saints, the largest church in Bedfordshire. We have nine en-suite bedrooms in the quiet garden, three of which are in a converted 18th century stable block.
The air-conditioned non-smoking restaurant is in a Victorian style conservatory and overlooks the flowery terrace with fountain and shady umbrellas. The award-winning restaurant menu specialises in fish and shellfish though there is always an interesting choice for meat eaters and vgetarians. There is a large well-balanced wine list and 26 wines by the glass. Lighter meals are served in the bar which features 17th century oak panelling and a log fire in winter.
