As the village is surrounded by farms, we like to use as much local food as possible, so you can enjoy free range eggs with your breakfast, together with locally produced bacon and sausages. Even the bread is homemade with flour grown and milled in the next county!

Perhaps you would like to have an evening meal here when you arrive? If so, many of the seasonal vegetables and fruit you will be served are from our garden. Just let us know when you book your room that you would like a meal and we can have it all ready for you.

Incidentally, if you are vegetarian, vegan or coeliac or have other dietary requirements, please let us know beforehand and we can provide alternatives.

All the meals are served in the oak beamed dining room where there is a log fire in winter.

You may wonder about the name of the house. As its name implies the house was indeed used as a dispensary, or surgery as we would call it now, by the village doctor around the 1830's. Apparently the most common medicine handed out was a token to take round to the local pub, the Stag's Head, to be redeemed for stout. The pub is still there and serving excellent beer, but sadly we no longer dispense tokens!

The historic village of Wellesbourne is five miles from Stratford-upon-Avon, and seven miles from Warwick and Leamington Spa. It is also ideally situated for making it your base to visit the National Agricultural Centre (NAC) at Stoneleigh Park, the Heritage Motor Centre at Gaydon and the Warwickshire Agricultural College at Moreton Morrell.

Our immediate attractions include Charlecote Park and Wellesbourne Water Mill in the village itself. We are also only about 30 minutes drive from the beautiful Cotswolds.
