Set within Epping Forest, with London just over the hill, this striking timbered hostelry draws city folk, walkers and cyclists for the trails that criss-cross the ancient forest on its doorstep. Reimagined by Heartwood as an informal pub with rooms in 2024, it offers stylish, contemporary, air-conditioned rooms, from cosy snugs to big rooms with tubs, and delicious food on good seasonal menus.
