The Litton

What a little gem of a place this is. We stayed in Oatfields and what a lovely spacious room. The bed was so comfortable and the pillows perfect! No noise so we slept like logs! Breakfast choice was excellent with plenty to choose from even for a fussy eater like me.

It's a 'no brainer' to give The Litton 5☆'s. Situated on the edge of the village, set well back from the road, this pub/hotel is in a great location. There are seating areas to the front, side and rear of the premises, some of which are covered, for protection against the sun, or showers, with several of them also including heaters, for cooler times. Inside also offers several different, tastefully decorated eating areas/styles, so take your pick. Sally, the owner, has clearly invested a lot of time, effort and expense into designing and then decorating this place, as attention to detail is all around to see. That too goes for the staff. A young, energetic, very courteous and attentive team, without being intrusive. At the time of our visit, The Litton was not too busy, so I was fortunate to be able to have a chat with the general manager, George. Clearly very passionate about The Litton and has obviously invested a lot of himself into making the place and his team a well oiled machine. George himself deserves 5☆'s alone. The food and drink we enjoyed on a Friday evening was so good, we returned the following morning, for breakfast and the prices were very competitive too. You can tell the difference between this privately owned establishment and some of the large hotel chains, as the staff here clearly care about their customers and all seemed happy in their work. If we didn't live over 150 miles away, this would be our new local. So if you are in the area, pay a visit to The Litton, I'm sure you will receive a warm welcome

On a trip with my family from Denmark we just hoped in for lunch. I ordered pulled pork on a flatbread. It was more like Mexican tortillas I got and not a good one. Please serve some simple good food instead of trying to make it fancy. I really don’t know what I got, and the taste of the pulled pork was not amazing.

I love this pub so much, the outdoor areas are amazing, the indoor is so comfortable and the staff are so warm, welcoming and professional. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the sausage roll on their amazing ploughman's has changed recipe! It was incredible before....bring it back :-)

Visited the Litton for my son`s 21st along with my wife, his brother and sisters, After being warmly greeted at the bar we were shown to our table in the Whiskey bar. This area was a little chilly but this was rectified by one of the waiters having the radiators turned up. Service from the waiters was excellent, attentive without being excessively so. My preferred wine, a Merlot, was unfortunately unavailable so I had to make do with a very acceptable Cotes Du Rhone (1st world problems). The selection of starters arrived and were all lovely. The main courses were excellent. Two of us had the braised ox cheeks which were cooked to perfection (that wine stood up to the richness of the beef perfectly) All plates were cleared, a sure sign of satisfaction with the food. The location itself looked amazing with all the Christmas light and decorations in place and the interior was very welcoming. All in all, a very enjoyable evening. Many thanks.

Our friends picked the Litton for an annual 50th uni reunion meet up. We liked everything about it,especially some seriously good food and brilliant service.Actually one of the best “ country house “ hotels we’ve ever stayed in ; or maybe it’s a boutique hotel or a country pub or all three but it’s great and we look forward to returning one day.
