Make it a Weekend Getaway or Stay Longer

Nestled in the heart of historic Lyddington in South Rutland, surrounded by rolling Leicestershire countryside, our charming inn is the perfect retreat for walkers, cyclists, antique hunters, art lovers, and those exploring the natural beauty of Rutland Water and its surrounding villages.

Ideally located, we’re just a 15-minute drive from Rutland Water, 40 minutes from the historic cities of Leicester and Peterborough, and only 20 minutes from the A1 — making us an excellent base for both relaxation and exploration.

During your stay, join us for a delightful dinner in our restaurant, where the menu changes daily and showcases fine English and Indian cuisine prepared with fresh, seasonal produce. Our characterful bar, with its exposed beams and stone walls, offers a carefully selected range of cask ales and fine wines — the perfect place to unwind.

Serene countryside views can be enjoyed from your accommodation, or just moments away, where open meadows are dotted with grazing horses and sheep.
