Looking forward to the proximity of summer, and the near advent of thousands from Town, a short description of this establishment may not be uninteresting to the reader. This antique edifice, the HOTEL, which is detached from the high road to Cambridge about a furlong, is approached by a semi-circular carriage way which diverges from the above road on the summit of Buckhurst Hill, re-entering the same further down towards Loughton. It is provided with an ample bar and airy and well ventilated apartments, overlooking prospects principally of immense tracts of forest, relieved by corn fields and undulating meads. Adjoining the hotel a Ball or Banquetting Hall has been erected, capable of dining 500 persons; indeed the proprietors found it necessary, to meet the continually increasing demands for large Annual Dinners, Masonic Banquets, Fetes, &c. When it is borne in mind that these Grounds cover over 22 acres, and that the greater part of this area is laid out in Gardens, Terraces, Bowling Greens, &c., with a profusion of Flowers, some idea may be formed of the whole, but it must be visited and inspected, since no description can possibly convey an adequate idea of the place. There is every accommodation for Horses, Carriages, &c., and the Buckhurst Hill Railway Station is little more than ten minutes’ walk from this ancient hostelry.
