The Greyhound is an historically important mainly thatched building, heritage Listed, with parts dating back to AD 1420. It was an Inn for hundreds of years and said to take its name from the King's (and Queen's) Messengers, known as Greyhounds, who stayed here whilst en route carrying their important missives! The property has three inglenook fireplaces dating from the 16th century and ancient beams galore! Nigel Balchin, one of the most well-known writers of the 1960's lived here as did members of the Rose family (Roses' Lime Water). Guests will breakfast in the oldest part of the house. Whilst retaining its ancient features the Greyhound has all modern features such as central heating, deluxe bathrooms etc. The 1 acre of gardens are wonderfully peaceful and attractive.
