Yeoldon House is situated at the end of a private drive ensuring peace and privacy at all times. The gently sloping gardens provide delightful areas to sit and enjoy the scene either in front of the hotel with a pot of tea or a glass of wine or down beside the tinkling waterfall watching the fish gliding through the pond.

On entering the hotel you will be instantly aware of its tranquillity and warmth. The cosy lounge beckons, inviting you to sit and relax with a book or newspaper whilst the historical stained glass windows and fascinating pictures and artefacts demand closer inspection.

The hotel is beautifully maintained with great attention paid to detail. Considerable refurbishment has taken place in recent years with the owners seeking to create a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere where comfort is a priority and excellent service the norm.



The house has ten bedrooms (three of these can be converted into twins), all of which are en-suite with tea and coffee making facilities. The rooms are located on the first and second floors. Whilst each room has everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay including hair dryers, irons and ironing boards, modem telephones and colour televisions, they are all unique with a style of their own.

The Yeoldon House Restaurant is named after the famous Victorian chef Alexis Soyer - source of inspiration to proprietor-chef Brian Steele. The room has a casual elegance where you will feel comfortable in any attire. Brian takes great pride in cooking and presenting food well in a relaxing atmosphere. You will enjoy imaginative cuisine from a daily changing menu that incorporates fresh fish, meat and vegetables from the locality.

We can also cater for Wedding parties, please visit our website for further details.

We look forward to welcoming you!
