Raise a glass to 2013 and then stay the night in the comfort of Old English Inns.
The Grosvenor Hotel is in the centre of the attractive historic village of Stockbridge, on the banks of the World famous Test River, in the heart of Hampshire in the South of England and is situated between historic Cathedral Cities of Winchester and Salisbury.
The hotel has retained its classic Georgian features and traditional friendliness, whilst offering you the very best of food, wines and present day comfort. Whether you are staying for business or pleasure, we will give you a really warm welcome and will do our very best to help you enjoy your stay.
The Tom Cannon Restaurant is proud to present local ingredients from within a 30 mile radius of the Hotel. Local quality beef, lamb, pork and seasonal game, and of course not forgetting the World famous Test trout. We also cater fully for vegetarians and specialise in seasonal fresh fish.
The Bankside Bar has been the centre of village life for over a century, and serves a range of meals, snacks and a large selection of ales and wines. Our new beautiful wood panelled restaurant offers a full a la carte menu, with game and fish when in season.
The River Room Restaurant as it's now known was once the dinning hall of the private home of Tom Cannon, the famous jockey and trainer of the mid nineteenth century.
If you look around the walls you will see the many fine horses he rode and or trained. These were etched directly on to the panels over one hundred years ago using a red hot iron straight from the fire. The Cannon family are still frequent visitors to their old ancestral home.
There are 26 attractively furnished en-suite bedrooms, with full facilities.
