A beautiful flint and brick old English inn in the heart of the Chiltern Vale
Built around 250 years ago The Ivy House was originally a coaching inn and is said to have had some pretty shady visitors on their way through to London in its early days.
From this history ghost stories have developed over the years; some say there is the ghost of a villain who escaped custody while being transported to London but was soon captured and hung here after murdering a local in his attempts to escape. Others believe there is the ghost of a young stable hand, seen by present members of staff.
