This charming, detached property is designed to accommodate large groups, making it an ideal choice for families and friends looking to celebrate special occasions or explore the beautiful countryside of East England.

The accommodation consists of seven en-suite bedrooms, thoughtfully arranged to provide flexible sleeping options for different group sizes. On the first floor, there are six bedrooms, including three king-size rooms, a family room with three single beds, a family room with a king-size bed and twins, and a twin bedroom. For added privacy, the pub features two annexes, which include a king-size bedroom with an en-suite and a family room with a king-size bed and a single bed. Guests can also unwind in a hot tub, enjoying the serene atmosphere under the stars after a day of exploration.

In addition to the pub's amenities, the small village of Upwell offers essential shops, a family butcher, a café, and a nearby pub, providing convenience for guests. Outdoor enthusiasts can engage in fishing or embark on the Outwell and Upwell walk, which features the historic tramway that inspired the beloved children’s story of Thomas the Tank.
