Our Rooms

Our seven rooms are all tastefully decorated with the Watership Down theme throughout. We have two main types of room – Inn Rooms and Garden Rooms. Every room comes with free Wi-Fi, TV, tea and coffee making facilities, and complimentary toiletries for your stay.



Inn Rooms

Located above the bar and restaurant, in the older part of the property, our three Inn rooms offer distinct character and comfort. There is also a lounge space where residents can enjoy a cup of tea, or relax in the evening with a glass of wine.

Room 1 - Bigwig showcases exposed brick walls and a modern quirky raised en suite shower room. The room can be either a double or a twin room

Room 2 - Hazel is a cosy double with lovely views toward the Test and a modern en suite shower room

Room 3 - Pipkin enjoys the inn’s standout view and a compact, well designed en suite. The room can be either a double or a twin room


Garden Rooms

Completed in 2019, our garden annex is an eco friendly, single storey building featuring a living roof and underfloor heating powered by an air source heat pump. The rooms are modern and spacious, with tiled floors and a sleek contemporary finish.

Room 4 & 5 - Blackberry & Fiver are our pet friendly double rooms with superking beds, both of which can be also arranged as twins. Each offers a generous bathroom with a walk in shower and twin basins, widescreen smart TV, and outdoor seating for enjoying the peaceful garden on warm evenings.

Room 6 - Clover mirrors the layout and style of Blackberry and Fiver but is kept pet free.

Room 7 - Dandelion, our spacious family room, is also pet-friendly and features a super king bed and two singles separated by a partition wall. A comfortable sofa makes it ideal for relaxing with a film on the smart TV, and the bathroom includes a bath with shower over and twin basins. With outdoor seating and a position furthest from the main building, Dandelion offers a particularly tranquil stay.
