Located discretely behind the Inn and designed to fit into the rural landscape, all our rooms have country views, some facing east over neighbouring farmland whilst others look out over our lovely garden. All rooms are now bookable on a bed and breakfast basis, with the option to book a table in the Inn for lunch or an evening meal. There's also two convenient EV Charge points available for patrons.

Sip, sip, hooray!

Come and get some sun while it's still shining--the season might be winding down, but a cocktail on the patio is always a good idea.

It's the dog days of Summer here at The Ferry Boat Inn, where your dog isn't tolerated, but welcomed with open paws.

We believe in silver service for our four-legged friends, that's why our silver dog bowls are darted about and pouring them a bowful is our favourite order of the day.

Behind reception you'll find a large range of intriguing treats specifically for our canine companions.

Looking to book an overnight stay? Bring the dog to dinner, bed & breakfast--we have dog-friendly rooms ready for them! Make a booking online, or by calling us on 01621 738844

There are a few unspoken rules of our English Pub and we thought we'd at least write them down for you.

Here's a controversial one: is the crisp packet the property of the person who purchased the crisp packet, or the property of the table where the crisp packet purchaser is perched?
