Suites

At the Kingfisher we have three suites, all located in the historic part of the building. They are quirky, unique, and we love them! Stay in a room that you won’t find anywhere else…

The Holt

The Holt is the first of our special suites – a place where otter’s sleep, this is located in the oldest part of the house, so expect wonky floors, oodles of character and a few creaks in the night! Oh, and an antique four poster bed – heaven!

Dragonfly

Dragonfly is a spacious room with a beautiful riverside view. Add to this a feature fireplace, walk in double shower and king sized bed – all the ingredients needed for the best night away.

The Kingfisher Suite

The Kingfisher Suite is the most impressive room in the house. Think the penthouse. Expect original mullion windows, a period fireplace, unique features aplenty and a view of the riverside terrace. For additional romance and relaxation, slip into the roll top bath with a bottle of Champagne for the ultimate getaway.

Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise

Follow us

At the start of July, we introduced a very exciting new addition to the menu - KEBABS. 

And you might be wondering how they’ve been going down? Well…

In the first TWO WEEKS of having them on the menu, we served over 500 of them! 

So pop down and give them a go for yourselves 😋
A break away from real life. A break away to the riverside 🦋

Sundays. Sailing. Sunny spot for a pint. 

Honestly, does it get better than that? 

Float by soon - there’s a cold drink waiting for you.
A Kingfisher update: 

We’re making a small change to keep our chefs comfortable in the heat. From tomorrow until Friday, the kitchen will be closed between 3pm and 5pm each day. 

All existing bookings are unaffected, and we’ll be back as normal outside of those hours. 

Thank you for bearing with us 😊
New summer rule: if the boat isn’t included, we’re not interested. 

There’s something about being on the river. It just makes sense. 

You bring the company - we’ll provide the post-sail food and drink 👀
