The Old Rectory has stood for over 500 years, though it was “modernised” in 1812 by the great-grandson of Sir Christopher Wren who lived in the house for 40 years.

The site itself is steeped in history; the Doomsday Book listed a building here, and along one boundary of the grounds runs the original Roman built Icknield Street.

 

Today the emphasis is on hospitality and creating a relaxed, warm atmosphere and memorable stay for guests. All of the comfortable bedrooms – one of which is reputedly haunted - differ in shape, size and décor, with some featuring exposed beams, and one with a barrel ceiling.

Dinner is served each night in the conservatory, and the restaurant prides itself on preparing everything possible on the premises from the freshest seasonal produce. Coffee and liqueurs may be enjoyed in the welcoming snug or lounge.

 

Let us help you to arrange your very special day. We offer a fully inclusive wedding service. At The Old Rectory Hotel we are registered to conduct civil Wedding services.

After the service you and your invited guests can enjoy the surroundings in this beautiful hotel, relax in the bar whilst the wedding photographs are taken, and then have your wedding reception in one of our function rooms, followed perhaps by an evening Disco/dance.

Why move around from venue to venue on your Wedding day when you can enjoy the whole day with relatives and friends in comfort, all in one convenient location.

 

In this historic and peaceful setting, your business meetings, small conferences and training sessions will be at their most productive.

We have several different rooms to accommodate varying sizes of group. Breakout rooms, the grounds and garden are also available for your use.
