The Garden

Nestled in the gentle Chilterns landscape near Whipsnade, the Old Hunters Lodge sits as a proper countryside retreat where you can settle in with a pint of Tring’s Side Pocket or enjoy an unhurried meal without the tyranny of rigid service times. The setting speaks of rural ease — a 15th-century thatched building with the kind of authentic character that comes from centuries rather than interior designers, surrounded by the rolling countryside that makes this corner of Hertfordshire worth seeking out. Whether you’re staying overnight in one of the cosy rooms, lingering over Sunday roast and proper gravy, or simply calling in for fish and chips that actually taste of something, the atmosphere remains genuinely welcoming rather than performed, with staff who seem genuinely pleased to have you there and an owner who knows that hospitality begins with small kindnesses like complimentary hot drinks at the bar.
