Mant's Crake
King Bed Room with a writing desk, lounge chairs and a private bathroom
Starting at: $300
Located on the third floor of the Inn, Mant’s Crake sings of spring and fresh forsythia: wrapped in trellis-inspired wallpaper, the room swathes visitors in shades of green and gold and features a lace-canopied king bed, as well as antique brass reading lights, warm wooden table lamps, and a hand-painted wardrobe.
The room is named after the bird discovered by Professor Greville P. Mant, an ornithologist and passionate conservationist. Birdwatchers regularly flock to Barrow’s Green for a chance to spot the crake. It is perhaps best known as the subject of The Night Bird, a fine oil painting by Edith Amherst, which once hung in the village Courthouse, but was defaced in an unsolved act of mischief.
